Having trouble with Date Reservation widget

    Asked on May 20, 2019 at 4:11 PM

    I just set the date reservation widget up last week for my client.  I thought it was working correctly, but it looks like it's blocking out the dates and not making them available after someone reserves their medical equipment on that specific date.

    I did want the same day reservation to be blocked, but not all the dates once they are reserved.

    Make sense?


    Please help.


    Thank you. See attached

    To clarify, do you want to allow past dates for reservation?

    The date reservation widget would block the day reserved already. I have checked the widget and it seems you have set it to 7 days limit, you may set it to 0 to remove the limit.

    You may check the appointment Slot widget.

    Here is a sample form:https://form.jotform.com/91396917125969

    Looking forward for your response.

    My client rents medical wheelchairs. They have many in stock and can rent multiple wheelchairs on the same dates. It looks like once someone reserves that date...it can't be reserved again.

    Is that correct?

    Correct, once a date is reserved, it won't be available again. You may use Date Picker field instead. You will find it in the Basic Form Elements: https://www.jotform.com/help/46-Quick-Overview-of-Form-Fields

    This will NOT work. Most of the time, my clients' customers pick multiple dates.


    Anything else?

    Thank you.

    You may the Appointment slot widget.

    You may manually add the dates and how many slots available for that date.

    However, the downside is that you would have to manually add the dates.
