Creating a Shared Booking Page
To initiate the creation of a shared booking page, click on the 'Create' button. If you have an existing booking page, you can use it as a template for your new page.
Naming Your Booking Page
The first step in the creation process is to give your booking page a name. You also have the option to add your company's local information and business type from a provided list, such as 'Health Service' or 'IT Support'.
Setting Business Hours
Your company's business hours are automatically imported from your Outlook calendar. You can click to edit these hours to fit your booking page's needs.
Inviting Staff Members
After setting the business hours, click the 'Next' button. Use the search bar to invite staff members to your booking page. You can make changes, invite external users, or configure their availability later if needed.
Assigning Roles and Permissions
You can assign different roles to users on your shared booking page. Each role grants a different set of permissions. Select the appropriate role from the list and click 'Next'.
Setting Up Services
You now have the option to set up a service. By default, a random service may be populated, but you can change it. Provide a name for the service, specify its duration, and set its availability. Additionally, you can add a Teams video meeting link, which will be sent to the concerned individuals for their appointment.
Modifying Service Information
All information regarding services, including days, hours, and personnel, remains modifiable at any time. After making your adjustments, click 'Next'.
Booking Policies
As a final step, you can choose who can book appointments by selecting the most suitable policy. The options include: - 'No cell service': You manage the calendar yourself. - 'Members of my organization': Access is granted to everyone in your company, as defined by your System Administrator. - 'Everyone': Allows anyone to make reservations through a public self-service page.
