Beginning: 

The Bookings app is a resource for creating an online calendar for staff or students to reserve time for meetings. Only users with a specific Microsoft license type can access the app, so if you would need access, please contact Computer Services at support@okwu.edu and request it. 

Users can manage their Bookings calendar from their Teams app, which should be pinned to the left side menu of Teams. Users can also use the web app for managing their Bookings appointments and availability times. The web app can be accessed from Teams by going to the top right of teams, clicking on the three dots menu button and selecting "Open Bookings web app". 

To set up your personal Bookings page, go here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/me and follow the prompts to set up your Booking page and meeting types. 

To view all of the Booking pages that you're a part of you can go to https://outlook.office.com/bookings/homepage. 

When setting up meeting types: 

You have the options to set the default duration of that type of meetings, enabled Teams meetings, change the meeting visibility, and customize the meeting's availability hours. In the Advanced options you can build in buffer times before and after meetings to build in some flexibility, and you can set a required minimum and maximum lead time for scheduling meetings. 

If you would like to share your personal Booking page, from your personal page, click on the share link, and you will have the option to copy the direct link to your booking page, send the link in an email, or add the link to one of your email signatures. 

Managers to set up team Booking Pages: 

Manager can set up team booking pages, for the purposes of scheduling meetings with anyone in a certain team, for example to facilitate student services meetings. 

Managers will need to set up a Booking page name and business hours. The team name you decide on will be used to create the email address for sending booking invites and the booking page link. Once that's decided, you will then be prompted to add members to the team. The next step will be to set the options for the initial appointment type. More can be added or modified later. Finally, you will need to determine who can see and book appointments. 

In the team booking page, managers have the options to add time off for users, set and update Team information, setup and modify services/appointment types, enable or disable and modify the self-service booking page, and view the team's calendar, among other things.
