MS Bookings has a lot of potential for staff in the office to have one consolidated calendar for appointments. One feature missing is the inability for staff to schedule recurring appointments for customers. While this feature shouldn't be available for the customers, it should be available for staff to document recurring PT, counseling sessions, etc. Having to manually enter a session every 2 weeks for 4 months is definitely a hinderance to utilizing the full capability of the product.
We've just started using Bookings and were very surprised admins and schedulers did not have this option available to them.
I supervise my university's accessible van service, and we're trying to transition away from paper schedules. We've been limited for quite some time, as we can't get the approval to use any other scheduling service. Since the university already has contracts with Microsoft, this seems to be our only option, but recurring bookings are a necessity. Almost every other 3rd party service we've looked at has the option to do something like that, I can't imagine why Bookings doesn't.
I've just started to schedule 12-week coaching packages with clients so first time I've realised that recurring meetings aren't available in Bookings.
I agree with all the other comments here that it's absolutely ridiculous that this isn't a feature.
Now I'll have to start looking into paid alternatives, possible Calendly as that seems to be popular but how frustrating that it's not available within the paid MS subscription I have.
Come on Microsoft, sort this out please!
