How to set multiple custom availability date ranges per staff member in Microsoft Bookings?
Hello,
I’m trying to configure multiple different availability date ranges for individual staff members in Microsoft Bookings. Here’s the scenario:
- **For the next 2 weeks:** Staff Member X should be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- **For the following 2 weeks:** Staff Member X should be available Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
- **Then for the next month:** They might only be available Monday and Thursday, etc.
I found the “Custom availability by date range” option under **Booking page → Configure booking page → General availability**, but that appears to set a global schedule for the entire Bookings calendar, not for a specific staff member.
When I go to **Staff → Edit Staff Member** in Bookings, I only see two options:
- Use business hours
- Use custom hours (which then applies indefinitely, not by date range)
I’d like each staff member to have independent date ranges for their custom hours. For example, Staff Member X’s availability is totally different from Staff Member Y’s, and each can change after certain dates.
**My questions are:**
- Is there a native way in Microsoft Bookings to define multiple date ranges with different weekly patterns for each staff member?
2. If multiple date ranges per staff member are possible, how do I enable it?
Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
