Shared Bookings

Question

Shared Bookings

Deborah Palmer 20

I want to do a SHARED BOOKING... but for 8 days only. No other availability.

How do I block off the other dates? Currently it is showing dates before and after the chosen dates.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for your response. It's great to hear that your issue has been resolved.

For the second issue, you can configure it as follows:

For example, if you want to allow bookings for 8 days, from Thursday of Week 1 through Thursday of Week 2.

First, set up the availability as described previously by configuring the Date range from Thursday of Week 1 to Wednesday of Week 2.

Then, to make Thursday of Week 2 available as well, create a separate availability schedule as follows:

Select Add a different availability for a date range.

Next, choose Custom hours.

Set only Thursday as bookable and mark all other days as Not bookable (this will not affect the configuration you created earlier).

Then add the available time slots for that Thursday.

Once completed, the Shared Booking page will allow bookings from Thursday of Week 1 through Wednesday of Week 2 based on the original configuration, while using the custom hours you configured for Thursday of Week 2.

Answer 1

Hi Deborah,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.Based on your description, I understand that you only want to allow bookings within an 8-day period and do not want to allow bookings on any other dates.

Please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open your Shared Booking page.

Step 2: Go to Services > Edit Service.

Step 3: Under Availability Options, locate General Availability and select Not bookable.

Step 4: Click Set a different availability for date range.

Then, select the date range during which you want customers to be able to make bookings.

After completing these steps, please wait approximately 10 minutes for the system to finish updating the settings, then check again.

Note: If there are any staff days off within the 8-day period, you will need to configure the staff working hours accordingly so that the desired dates appear as Available for customers to book.

I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If not, we can work together to resolve this.

Thank you for your patience and your understanding. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

I look forward to continuing the conversation.
