It would be great to have a time option for the timeline question on a form. For example, I want to use this form to create a pool car booking system where the pick up time/date and drop off time/date appear in a calendar once approved and show it greyed out for the entire duration the car is gone.
Hello,
To implement this, you can use a form with date and time pickers for both the pick-up and drop-off times. Here’s a general approach to achieve this:
Form Creation:
Use a form builder that supports date and time pickers. Many platforms like Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, or custom web forms with HTML and JavaScript can handle this.
Date and Time Pickers:
Include fields for the pick-up date and time, and drop-off date and time. This ensures users can select the exact times they need the car.
Approval Workflow:
Once a booking is submitted, it should go through an approval process. This can be automated using tools like Microsoft Power Automate or Zapier, or handled manually.
Calendar Integration:
Integrate the form with a calendar system (like Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar). When a booking is approved, the pick-up and drop-off times are added to the calendar.
Use the calendar’s API to mark the car as unavailable (greyed out) for the duration of the booking.
Greying Out Unavailable Times:
Ensure the calendar shows the car as unavailable during the booked times. This can be done by setting the event as “busy” or using custom CSS if you’re building a custom solution.
I hope this useful to you.
