Every booking page you create can be managed directly from your Doodle dashboard. In this article, we will cover some processes and best practices for managing your booking pages, including:
Editing booking pages
Disabling/re-enabling booking pages
Deleting booking pages
Tips for how to share your booking pages
To access the edit, disable/re-enable, duplicate, and delete functions:
Click on the three dots associated with the booking page you wish to manage
Select the preferred option from the menu
Editing an existing Booking Page
You can edit any parameter of an existing booking page, such as event duration, power settings, custom invite fields and more.
To edit an existing booking page:
From your dashboard, click on the three dots associated with the booking page you wish to edit
Select 'Edit' to load your booking page
From your booking page's edit screen, apply any changes you wish to make to your booking page
Click 'Save'
Once you click 'Save', you will be brought to your booking page summary screen. We recommend you use the 'Preview' function to review your edits to ensure your booking page is working as you would like.
Note: any pre-existing meetings scheduled with your booking page will not be adjusted to match your new settings.
Disabling/re-enabling an existing booking page
Disabling your booking page is helpful for managing work flows and protecting your calendar. For example, it might be to your advantage to disable a booking page when you:
will be on holiday
need to focus on existing projects
To disable a booking page:
From your dashboard, click on the three dots associated with the booking page you wish to disable
Select 'Disable link' to disallow further bookings from the booking page link
Your booking page will be shaded grey once it is disabled.
To re-enable a disabled booking page:
From your dashboard, click on the three dots associated with the booking page you wish to re-enable
Select 'Re-enable link' to resume booking events with the booking page link
Note: when a participant clicks on a disabled Booking Page link, they will see the following:
To disable or delete? That is the question.
Disabling and re-enabling booking pages has purpose beyond basic maintenance. For example, allowing temporary access to a specific booking page works well for:
seasonal work processes for hiring managers
consultants who keep close control over meeting with new clients
teachers who wish to put a hiatus on meetings during their holiday
However, sometimes it is necessary to delete an existing booking page completely.
To delete a booking page:
Click on the three dots
Select 'Delete'
Confirm or cancel your selection from the pop up window
Note: any meetings that were scheduled prior to deleting the booking page will remain on your calendar
