Scheduling business closures, time off, and vacation time

Description

You will need to add University closings or scheduled time off to either your Outlook calendar or Microsoft Bookings page to prevent meetings from being added to your calendar when you are out of the office. 

Environment

Calendar in Mac, PC, and/or web browser

Solution 

If your working hours are not accurate in your calendar, including days you do not work, you will appear as bookable to Bookings users. Depending on your Microsoft Bookings configurations, you will need to employ one or both of the solutions below:

• Add University holidays to your calendar

• Schedule business closures, time off, and vacation time

Access the Microsoft Bookings page from the customer view to ensure that the desired changes were updated correctly. 

Outcome: You should now be unable to be scheduled for appointments during your designated out-of-office times.
