How to set multiple custom availability date ranges per staff member in Microsoft Bookings?
Hello, I’m trying to configure multiple different availability date ranges for individual staff members in Microsoft Bookings. Here’s the scenario: - **For the next 2 weeks:** Staff Member X should be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. - **For the following 2 weeks:** Staff Member X should be available Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. - **Then for the next month:** They might only be available Monday and Thursday, etc. I found the “Custom availability by date range” option under **Booking page → Configure booking page → General availability**, but that appears to set a global schedule for the entire Bookings calendar, not for a specific staff member. When I go to **Staff → Edit Staff Member** in Bookings, I only see two options: - Use business hours - Use custom hours (which then applies indefinitely, not by date range) I’d like each staff member to have independent date ranges for their custom hours. For example, Staff Member X’s availability is totally different from Staff Member Y’s, and each can change after certain dates. **My questions are:** Is there a native way in Microsoft Bookings to define multiple date ranges with different weekly patterns for each staff member? 2. If multiple date ranges per staff member are possible, how do I enable it? Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Network problem with personal bookings
Since a few weeks Microsoft Bookings very often shows me a specific notfication: "Temporary problem in personal bookings - Unfortunately, there seems to be a temporary network problem with personal bookings. Please refresh or try again later." My personal booking page then disappears (although I don't even use it, there is nothing set up in there) and I only see the shared bookings pages, which are relevant to me. However, if I want to access them, nothing really works: I can't make any changes, I can't set up a new service, I don't see the employees I added etc. The only thing that works is the booking page itself, so people can make bookings. Only the administration part doesn't function. This happens very often, in the App as well as in the Browser. Even for other colleagues of mine, this happens. I have found out though, that usually it works before 9 am and after 5pm (which are our companys office hours). And it occured as soon as more and more services were added to the page ( I am only talking about 10 services or so, and two shared booking pages.) Our internal tech service couldn't find a problem with my computer or so. Does anyone know, what might be the reason for this? Is there some setting maybe in bookings, that I need to change? I would be very greatful for some tips!Microsoft Bookings is auto-cancelling calendar appointments
I created a booking system for our organization using Microsoft Bookings and we've encountered a big problem. The system is - seemingly randomly - sending calendar cancellations to people who have booked sessions. This is causing huge confusion and makes the whole system unusable for us. It sometimes happens when a new person, eg Person B, signs up for a session. Person A, who had already signed up, gets a calendar cancellation. These sessions are designed for multiple participants. Please help. We'll have to ditch the whole system if we can't resolve this. It's very frustrating. Thanks!
