How to Override Calendar Availability
You may want to schedule an appointment manually, at a time you're not typically available. For example, maybe your normal scheduling availability is Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, but you want to make an exception for someone and book an appointment at 5:00pm on a Thursday for them. Follow the steps below to manually schedule an appointment outside your default availability.
NOTE: in the Teams Calendars this is only an option if you're an assigned user within the specific calendar.
Step 1: Accessing the Calendar
- Navigate to your Calendar section.
- Choose the calendar this appointment is for, using the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Creating the Appointment
- Click into the date/time you wish to schedule the appointment for, even if it is outside of normal availability.
- In the popup window, you’ll see two options. Choose “Book an Appointment”.
Select the Contact you wish to create the appointment for.
- Fill out the appointment details and click “Save Appointment” to add the appointment to your calendar.
- Your appointment will now appear in your calendar at the date/time you chose.
- You may click into the appointment to edit or delete it anytime.
