Cannot Make Changes to Staff
I started experiencing an error on our Bookings page yesterday, where I cannot make changes to the staff's availability. Everything appears to be working, but after adding a time slot or adjusting an existing time slot and selecting Save Changes, nothing has changed. The calendar does not display the new availability for that staff member, no changes are reflected when opening the up the same staff's availabiltity, and the time slot is not updating on the Bookings page. I have tried different browsers, cleared cookies/cache, tried to edit from another administrator's account, and waited a day to see if the changes persist. We have another booking page, which I am still able to make changes to. Has anyone experienced this issue?
Using Bookings to register people for scheduled events?
Hi: I want to test if Bookings could be a good solution for this activity - or if there's a better way within 365. I will run six workshops in Zoom (scheduled via Outlook) next year. I want to send a communication to about 300 people from a range of organisations inviting them to sign up for any or all of these sessions. Probably be able to accommodate up to 200 people per session. Is it possible to use Bookings to have them sign up for the workshops, and get an invitation sent to them, AND have them added to our Outlook appointment attendees (so we know who they are)? If so... how?! If not, is there another MS365 product or feature that would enable this?
Bookings personal page shows incorrect times, not my "regular working hours" from settings
I'm trying to have my personal bookings page only show availabilities to book a meeting within my "regular working hours" as I have set in the settings: For each meeting type, I have explicitly set the availability to correspond to the previously set "regular working hours": However, the options to book on my personal page show availability for times that are not part of the set hours: Why are my available booking slots not corresponding to my set hours?Access Clock In/Out data via Microsoft Graph
I'm looking to integrate Microsoft Teams shifts with some other systems we have. We don't schedule shifts in advance as most of our team work flexibly but need to be able to export clock in/ out data in an automated fashion. Is there a way to do this through the Graph API or at worst through Power Automate?
Looking for some ideas for this application (see description)
Hello. My work uses sharepoint for their employee webpages and we have something called the "help desk" and there is a different engineer working on the help desk every day. There are usually 10-20 people on the help desk team. We currently use excel for the help desk schedule and everybody in the company can view the help desk schedule to see who is on the help desk on the corresponding day. We have been having many problem with managing it on excel and I am reaching out to see if there are any applications or tools that can make this easier. We want the schedule to be embedded on one of our sharepoint pages and we want it to be easy for engineers to swap help desk days with eachother. Thank youSetting up 30-min meetings at quarter-past and quarter-to the hour
Hello All, I’m trying to set up 30 minute meetings that begin at quarter past and quarter to (e.g. 3:15, 3:45, 4:15 4:45…). In this case, I do not want the option of starting on the hour, or half hour. For some reason, Bookings with me doesn’t seem to allow this. Does anyone know how to do this? All the best, Alasdair
Setting schedule availability works differently from similar services
I've recently started using MS Bookings where previously I was using Calendly. There are two things calendly did really well that seem different or missing from Bookings. I want to raise here to find out if this functionality is not available or if I've just misunderstood how to do it. 1. Time increments and availability This is a weird one, Bookings seems to use the increments setting to also add a buffer at the beginning and end of the days bookable sessions. This feels weird to me. While there are settings that stop people booking in within say, 48 hours, what I'm looking for is a separate increments and buffer function. I've set my increments to 15mins, and with no calendar invite syncing that could be causing an issue, it adds the 15mins as a buffer to the beginning and end of the day's bookable times. For example, setting availability of 8:30am to 6:30pm I would expect to be able to book a session at 8:30am when availability starts, and the last session at 5:30pm, 1 hour before the end of the availability. However, Bookings shows 8:45am and 5:15pm and there doesn't seem to be a way to change this. Other services handled this sooo much better. This logic doesn't make sense to me - am I doing something wrong or has MS got the logic a bit wrong on this one? 2. I've seen mention of being able to have availability dictated by entries in the calendar of the linked staff account (provided you check the right box in settings). On other services, I could change a calendar event to 'Free' instead of busy, and this would then make those times available for someone to book over. This was really useful for syncing with my calendar and allowing some things to be booked over and others not by changing between 'Free' and 'Busy' status on each event. This doesn't seem to work - am I doing something wrong or is this feature missing? Thanks in advance!
SharePoint - Scheduled news will not be published
Hi all, I'm glad it's finaly possible to schedule a newspost in SharePoint.Unfortunately, based on my experiences, I have no confidence in the scheduling functionality. Why? It often happens that on the moment the scheduled newspost must be published, it not happen.Are there others who also run into these problem? Of course I've enabled scheduling on the sitecolletion. 🙂 Kind regards Rob
