How to set up a booking with multiple staff?
Our office just switched to Office 365. I'm used to using calendar/booking software like Calendly etc. I find it easier to send people a booking link than to try to coordinate between multiple people. I need to send a booking link to an external customer but I need the available times to book to be where there is overlap between multiple staff members, and for when the booking is made, it alerts these multiple staff. For instance, I am trying to set up a meeting with an external client, my boss, and myself. I want the external client to be able to only book times that my boss and I are both available, and when they book I want it to include both my boss and myself in the booking. I tried to set up a booking and turned off the "choose staff" option, but instead of booking both of us, it only booked one of us. Is it possible to do what I want to do in the MS booking app?
Group Bookings in MS Bookings
I have a requirement to create a sign-up sheet for an event which comprises several different time slots, and for each slot there is a max of 50 attendees. I have used the Bookings app in the past for event sign-ups, although not with so many attendees. According to https://support.office.com/en-us/article/define-your-service-offerings-in-microsoft-bookings-4a1c391e-524f-48e0-bef8-185df3a9634b I can do group bookings by setting the "Maximum number of attendees per event" for a service. However, when I enter any number in the Maximum Attendees field and select "Save", that number is not retained - i.e. when I revisit that Service page, the field is empty, and I am unable to make more than one booking for that Service at any one time. Where am I going wrong?
Bookings URL
Hello, I have two questions related to the bookings published page URL. 1. I changed my business name and the bookings URL is still showing the old/original business name. Is there a way to update this? 2. Is there a way to create separate Bookings URLs for each staff member? Currently we have a business page set up and services with available staff. For our business use, we would like to be able to share links that would take customers to a specific staff members bookings page. Thank You, Leslie Johnson
How to manage a bookings site after the owner leaves the organization
I have done a bit of digging and cannot seem to find this anywhere, so I thought I would try here. I am looking to find out if there is a way to easily manage Bookings sites after a sole owner leaves the organization. I understand that these sites all have back-end mailboxes but I cannot find an easy way to add an owner through powershell or through the Bookings pages even as a Global Admin. Any help or insight would be great!
unable to change or set admin role for a staff member in Microsoft Bookings
Hi to all, We are having difficulty setting up Microsoft Bookings. We added staff members and everything works except for one member: we added the staff member wit the role of Administrator (in Bookings) and it changed to Guest. It can't be changed to Administrator. Though, for the other members, everything worked as expected: so we now have two users with the same exact product (Microsoft Business Essentials), same exact roles set up in the 365 Admin panel, but one of them can be made Administrator in Bookings, and the other not so. A third member, with a Business Premium account, is also set up to be an Administrator in Bookings without fault. Removing and re-adding the staff member didn't change this behavior. How can we resolve this? Is this a permissions/roles issue on a higher level? Can settings/rights for Bookings be tweaked elsewhere? We have been looking extensively for answers on the web, but didn't come across any lead so far yet. We don't have any setup for using powershell (yet, because of a non-windows environment), so hopefully this can be resolved via the Admin center somehow? Any thoughts/help would be very welcome... Thanks in advance.
