Allow parents to sign up for parent-teacher conferences
Limit how many people can join a class or session
Let attendees choose their preferred time for events
And more!

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up your Weekly Appointment Planner widget in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

Note

Separate each item with a new line (Shift + Enter).
Add limits using numbers in curly brackets (e.g., Monday{5}).
Use {unlimited} for unlimited slots (e.g., Saturday{unlimited}).

Then, scroll down to the bottom and continue to set up these settings:
- Max Selection — A number that will limit the item selection. For example, a value of 2 will limit users to selecting a total of 2 items on the list. You can leave it empty to allow selecting all items.
- Counter Label — Change the text label next to the number counter.
- Unlimited Label — Change the text ‘UNLIMITED’ if you set an option to have unlimited value.
- None Available — Text to be shown when no more item is available.
Once you’re done, click on Update.
