Is there a way to limit the time slots available for selection on ConfiForm Calendar View?

Enlu Zhang

I'm trying to create a sign up where users can sign up for a 20 minute interview slot. The interviews are weekly on Monday from 9-10 AM and Wednesday from 1-2 PM. 

I'm hoping to create a validation where it only allows users to select times from those slots. As a bonus, it would also only show those time slots available in the date/time selector on the form. 

I'm thinking to use a Confiform Rule Definition, but am not sure how to isolate the time data from the date-time field.

Hi

At the moment you cannot disable selection in the CalendarView or in the date picker, but you can certainly validate the input

I would go with 2 validation rules with conditions as follows (my field name to capture the datetime is called "dt")

(!dt.formatDate(E):Mon AND !dt.formatDate(E):Wed)

and

((dt.formatDate(E):Mon) AND (dt.formatDate(H):<9 OR dt.formatDate(H):>10)) OR ((dt.formatDate(E):Wed) AND (dt.formatDate(H):<13 OR dt.formatDate(H):>14))
