MS Booking Calendar - Staff Column Header Misalignment with Calendar Grid

  • Product: Microsoft Bookings (web)
  • View: Day by Staff
  • Browsers affected: Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome

In the "Day by Staff" calendar view, the staff member column headers displayed at the top of the schedule do not align correctly with the calendar grid columns beneath them. The staff headers appear to be offset from their corresponding time-slot columns, making it visually ambiguous which column of booking slots belongs to which staff member.

This issue has been confirmed across both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, which rules out a browser-specific rendering problem and suggests it is a bug within the Microsoft Bookings application itself.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Microsoft Bookings in either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome and navigate to the Calendar view.
  2. Switch to the "Day by Staff" view using the dropdown in the top toolbar.
  3. Observe the staff member icons and names displayed in the header row.
  4. Compare the horizontal position of each staff header to the vertical column grid lines below.

Expected Behaviour:

Each staff member's header should be horizontally centred above its respective column of time slots in the calendar grid.

Actual Behaviour:

The staff column headers are visibly misaligned with the calendar grid columns below. The header row appears shifted, so headers do not correspond to the correct columns. This makes it difficult to identify which bookings belong to which staff member, particularly when multiple staff members are displayed.

Additional Notes:

  • The issue reproduces consistently across both Edge and Google Chrome, confirming this is not browser-specific.
  • Booking events visible in the grid do not clearly correspond to the staff header above them due to the misalignment.
  • No custom configuration or third-party integrations are in use.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any workarounds or fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi @Ash B,

    Since the issue is specific to your account (while it displays correctly for other users) and persists across multiple environments, this likely points to an account‑level or backend issue with Microsoft Bookings rather than a local browser or device setting. At this point, the best next step would be to contact Microsoft Support and raise a support ticket, as they have access to backend diagnostics that aren’t available through the community forum.  

    A technical support engineer can perform a remote session to investigate the situation, verify the backend configurations, and run any necessary synchronization tools to resolve the problem. If the issue requires further attention, they can escalate it to a specialized team for deeper analysis.        

    Here’s what your Microsoft 365 Global Admin (IT Admin) should do next:       

    • Submit a Service Request: The Global Admin should create a service request with Microsoft support to get advanced technical assistance and diagnostics. For detailed instructions on how to get support, please refer to Get support - Microsoft 365 admin.         
    • Find Your Microsoft 365 Admin: If you’re unsure who the Global Admin is within your organization, you can find guidance on locating them here: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.     
    • If your subscription is managed through a Microsoft partner or reseller, they can also assist with opening a support request and liaising with Microsoft on your behalf.      

    Note: If you’re an end-user, please coordinate with your Office 365 Global Administrator to handle these steps.     

    I apologize for redirecting you the related team support, as the moderators in this community don’t have access to the detailed system needed to troubleshoot this effectively due to privacy and security constraints. But Microsoft’s support team has elevated permissions and access to backend systems that we, as community moderators, do not. This ensures your issue is handled with the right tools and expertise and helps you get a faster resolution.       

    Hopefully they will be able to help with your issue and if you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

    Regarding your issue, may I kindly ask a few questions to help understand it better. 

    • From my side, this is how the layout appears. Is this the expected behavior you were looking for? If I’ve misunderstood anything, feel free to let me know. 
    • User's image
      • Has this misalignment started recently, or has it always been like this since you first started using the “Day by Staff” view? 
    • Have you tried accessing Bookings in an InPrivate/Incognito window does the misalignment still occur? 
    • Have you tested on a different device or computer does the same misalignment appear? 

    Hope to hear back from you soon.  

    The initial response may not fully address your needs, but it will help me better understand your situation. Once I get the information, I will try my best to find the next steps.

    The provided information does not describe any known or documented fix or workaround for misaligned staff column headers in the Microsoft Bookings “Day by staff” view.

    The only directly relevant configuration in the context is how to filter which staff appear on the calendar. As a temporary usability aid until the visual issue is resolved, reduce the number of visible staff so that it is easier to infer which column belongs to which staff member:

    1. In the Bookings calendar, select Filter.
    2. Check only the specific staff calendars that need to be viewed; uncheck others to hide them.

    This limits the view to a smaller set of staff and may make it easier to correlate bookings with staff despite the misalignment.

    For a permanent fix, this behavior needs to be addressed as a product bug through Microsoft support or feedback channels, as no product-side setting is documented to control header/grid alignment.
