Blocking Holiday Weeks Off In Microsoft Bookings

User trying to figure out how to block off a holiday break in microsoft bookings so no one can book. Method 1: Use the Bookings app

  • Go to your Microsoft Bookings calendar and select the Add time off button.
  • Fill in the details for the holiday, including a title, start and end dates, and make sure to select the All day box.
  • Add the event to all staff members who will be unavailable, and save it.
  • Alternatively, you can go to Services, select Availability options, and then Set availability for a different date range to block a period as "Not bookable". 
 
Method 2: Use Outlook or Google Calendar
  • Open your Outlook or Google Calendar.
  • Create a new event for the holiday.
  • Select the All day box and set the event to Busy or Out of office.
  • Make sure the event is on the primary calendar that your booking page syncs with for conflicts.
  • Save the event. This will block the time for all staff on that calendar.
