Appointment field: ability to set appointments for multiple days

    In the 'Appointments (new)' widget, I can't seem to make my bookings last for 2 days as is needed by my customers. Is this possible?

     

    Also I need a 14 day scheduling notice which I have entered in hours (24*14=336) but it doesn't seem to block out 14 days, just 10 or so.

     

    It actually seems to only block out days until the end of the current month.

     

    Thanks in advance,

     

    Chris.

    Hello Chris,

    It seems that the new Appointment field is not yet capable of selecting multiple days for bookings. Let me escalate a ticket request to our developers, for a possible solution. I suggest try checking the Date PickerDate Reservation, or the Configurable List widget in the meantime, and it seems that it can meet your requirements for multiple dates. 

    As for the 14 days scheduling notice, it seems that it also not possible to select more than 12 hours as it is designed to be notified within the day before the scheduled time. To verify, would you need to block the days before the appointment or just for notification?

    Hi KrisLei,

    Thank you for escalating this, do you know how long it will take?


    So the 14 Day barrier is needed for our scriptwriters and cinematographers to prepare for the shoot date, hence every appoint will need a 14 day notice if that makes sense.


    Also the mentioned alternative apps above don't seem to integrate with google calendar?

    Unfortunately, we cannot give an ETA when this feature would be added or will it be passed however, we will keep you posted at this ticket once updates are available.

    Unfortunately, widgets are not able to integrate with Google calendar.

    The normal Date picker field should be able to integrate with Google Calendar but it doesn't have the capabilities to set appointments.
