Can Laserfiche Forms Calendar field only shows available times

asked on February 1, 2017 • Show version history

We have a customer that is looking to use a Laserfiche Forms for customers to select available times to schedule appointments. Is there any applications that anyone has used to provide this functionality to customers?

Matt,

I was able to get this to work by using the Timepicker.js file found HERE.  You can adjust the settings in Min/Max to reflect whatever times you please.  Here is the site that shows you how to manipulate the code: TimePicker

Here is the Code:

    $.getScript('yourformsserver/Forms/js/jquery.timepicker.js', function () 
		{ 
          $('.time input').timepicker({
            minTime: '5',
            maxTime: '10',
            defaultTime: '11',
            startTime: '10:00',
            dynamic: true,
            dropdown: true,
            scrollbar: true
          });
        });

Result:

Nate,

Thanks for the information. The customer is looking for much more than this. They are looking to have only appointments/time slots that they have available displayed on the drop-down. The trick is how to track the times that they have available. Right now, these are only tracked within metadata fields. It seems like it needs to be a third party system.

The time openings for each day would need to be stored available in a database somewhere so that a query could be written to only retrieve time slots that are available. As each time slot is reserved, it would need to be marked off in the database.
