Bookings - A Microsoft 365 Product

Booking helps departments to schedule meetings with students and employees.Bookings includes a web-based booking calendar and integrates with Outlook to optimize your staff’s calendar and give students and employees, the flexibility to book a time that works best for them.

Note: We are not taking individual requests for Booking sites for single users. Bookings requests are for departmental use only. Once a request is made for a Bookings site, each employee can have their own service request inside the booking site that is specific to them.

Bookings Request Requirements:

• Must be a faculty or staff member to make a request for a department.
• More than one faulty or staff in the department needs to be interested in using the Bookings site.

Bookings has 3 primary components:

1. An online bookings page where employees and students can schedule appointments with specific departments and staff members. 
2. An online back end where you can view and manage appointments, set a staff list and schedules, specify your work and timings, record client preferences, and customize how the service works.
3. A mobile app you can use to view and manage bookings and access bookings information from anywhere you can get an Internet connection.

Features of Microsoft Bookings:

1. Work 24/7 -You get a customizable public web page which Employees/Students ​​​​can use to book appointments around the clock.

2. Put an End to Phone Tag- Employees/Students can view available times online and book the slot that’s most convenient for them. Clients who prefer to call can do so, and you can enter their information manually. Either way, confirmations are sent immediately and automatically.

3. Offer Self-service Rescheduling and Cancellations-It’s easy for Employees/Students to change or cancel an appointment. You can control how much advance notice is required for cancellations.

4. Manage Bookings on the go -You can send automated appointment reminders to clients and with the mobile app, you can add or view appointments from anywhere.
