For customers using the schedule board for lesser-complicated scheduling needs, we're looking for simplified calendar views.  I would like to suggest the addition of weekly and business-weekly views that provide clean and crisps views of single, or multi-user bookings, horizontally across a single screen. Think of your Outlook weekly calendar today.


Use case 1: As a single user, I can see my weekly, or business-weekly calendar on one screen with all my bookings visible. 


Use case 2: As a single user, I can create a new booking from my weekly calendar by clicking the time slot and filling out a modal dialog with required booking parameters.  


Use case 3: As a manager, I can see the weekly, or business-weekly calendar for my team in one screen with all bookings visible on one screen and color coded for each individual team member. 


Use case 4: As a manager, I can create a new booking for one of my team members by clicking a time slot and filling out a modal dialog with required booking parameters.


The following is an example from Telerik which is a pretty good example of the kind of scheduler that many companies use for less complicated scheduling needs: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/scheduler/index. The schedule board in CRM is impressive for what it is designed to do, but for those of us trying to do basic scheduling with skills matching, we're having a hard time because it doesn't provide these basic foundations. 


At minimum I'd like the product team to consider adding these necessary views to the existing schedule board. Alternatively, I think a secondary and more basic schedule board for those of us doing more basic scheduling would be a HUGE win in the platform.

This is a great suggestion! We will consider this in our roadmap.

Extending this capability to allow our customers' customers to book via our portal would be awesome. We already have a Microsoft solution here with Microsoft Booking - https://products.office.com/en-us/business/scheduling-and-booking-app. Can this not be used within Dynamics and setup to leverage our data model?


Thank you!
