Booking Widget: How to Set Fixed Time Slots and Restrict to Weekdays Only

Hi JotForm Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to ask about setting up timing details in our form, specifically for booking slots. We need fixed time options as follows:

• 8:00 AM
• 10:00 AM
• 1:00 PM
• 3:00 PM
• Monday to Friday only

However, we are unable to configure this using the current booking/calendar option, as it does not allow restricting to only these specific time slots.

Could you please guide us on how we can achieve this setup in JotForm? If there is any workaround or alternative approach, we would really appreciate your help.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hi Emile,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Regarding your request to set fixed time slots (8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM) for booking Monday to Friday only, the current Jotform Appointment field allows you to set appointment times and limits but does not directly support restricting to specific fixed time slots in the booking/calendar option.

However, here is a workaround you can try:

1. Add an Appointment field to your form from the Form Builder.
2. Configure the Appointment field properties by clicking the Gear icon on the field. In the Advanced tab, you can set the appointment type (One-on-one or Group) and limit the number of people per slot.
3. Set the available days to Monday through Friday by restricting the dates in the Appointment field settings.
4. For fixed time slots, since the Appointment field does not allow selecting only specific times like 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM, you can create multiple Appointment fields or use a workaround with dropdown fields listing those exact times and apply conditions to show/hide fields based on the selected day.

Alternatively, you can use a combination of the Date Picker with time enabled and dropdown fields to simulate fixed time slots, but this requires more manual setup and conditional logic.

For detailed guidance on using the Appointment field and setting time zones or durations, you can refer to Jotform's help articles on scheduling appointments and configuring the Appointment field.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Emile,

I've cloned your form and noticed you already have the Appointment element. Let me show you a demo using a cloned form on how you can set the slots that'll be available from Monday to Friday only:

1. In Form Builder, select the Appointment element, then click on the Gear icon on the right side.
2. Now, in the Appointment Properties on the right side, go to the Availability tab.
3. Next, in the Intervals, add slots in From section and end in To section.

Here's a screenshot after finalizing the slots:
