Microsoft Bookings has an old and new user interface. When listed, select the old or new link to see the settings screens for your chosen interface.
Assigning multiple administrators per calendar
Make sure to have at least two administrators on your Bookings calendar. UO IT administrators do not have the ability to add or change owners of Bookings calendars for you. This will help avoid lockout situations if a calendar administrator is out of office or leaves the university.
Setting your Time Zone
Navigate to Settings, then Booking Page. Under Manage your booking page, select the option for Region and time zone settings
Change the Current time zone option to (UTC-8:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Customizing staff availability
If you wish to set custom hours, or non-bookable staff, this is where those settings are located.
- Navigate to Settings, and then Booking Page. Under Manage your booking page select the option for Default Scheduling Policy.
- At the bottom of this section, under Availability, set your preference for General availability
Adjusting the default pricing setting
You may wish to remove pricing if it is not applicable to the sessions you are scheduling.
When you add a service:
- Set the price to Price not set if you do not want pricing information included at all
-OR-
- Set the price to Free if you want the service to specify that it is free
Navigate to Settings, and then Services. Select Edit Service (the pencil icon) next to the service you want to change. If you have not yet created a service, Add new service first.
Inside your service, set the Default price as desired then click Save changes
