Microsoft Bookings Question

Question

So here is my situation:

A department at the company I work for uses Microsoft Bookings to facilitate a lot of their work and have run into an issue I could not find an answer to.

They have 3 different services that they provide and want to tie a color to represent a specific service in the calendar view.

Is there any setting I can change to accomplish this? It would make their job a whole lot easier if they could see a specific color and immediately now exactly what type of service it represented. At the moment the calendar looks like a giant rainbow and is not ideal.

Also, we've noticed that when we remove a staff member from a service, we are not able to update that specific service. What would cause this issue?

The workaround right now is to completely start all over with a new service, but it would be preferred if we could just update the existing service on the calendar.

Thank you in advanced for the help :)

When you go into the calendar you can add new staff. Try adding staff to the calendar then add them to the service before removing the previous member. https://outlook.office.com/bookings/staff

The services don't have their own categories, sorry. But if the staff members are only assigned to one service, you could use the staff category colors for uniformity - give them all one color.
