If you’re an Officebooking user who frequently needs to reserve a room or resource in Outlook for the same time and duration, then making a recurring reservation can save you time and effort. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a daily or weekly recurring reservation in the Outlook calendar.
Before we begin, it’s important to note that monthly or yearly recurring reservations are not yet available in Officebooking. However, you can still make daily or weekly recurring reservations, which can be customized to fit your needs.
To make a recurring reservation in the Outlook calendar, follow these steps:
-
Open Outlook and go to the Calendar view.
-
Click on the date and time when you want to start your recurring reservation.
-
In the new event window, enter the details of your reservation, including the meeting room or desk you want to reserve, the start and end times, and any other necessary information.
-
Choose how often you want the reservation to repeat by clicking on “Don’t Repeat” and switching it to “Daily” or “Weekly”. For example, if you want to book a room every weekday, select “Daily” from the options.
-
In the new pop-up window, set the start and end dates for the recurring reservation and the exact days of the week you want this recurring reservation to happen. For example, if you want this reservation to repeat every two weeks and every Monday and Tuesday, then click on “Repeat every 2” and “Week” (meaning weekly), and select “M” for Mondays and “T” for Tuesdays.
-
Click “Save” to create your recurring reservation.
Now, every day or week (depending on the frequency you chose), the room or resource will be reserved for the same time and duration, until the end date you specified.
If you need to make changes to the recurring reservation, such as adjusting the start or end time or cancelling one of the occurrences, simply open the series of recurring events in your calendar and make the necessary changes.
