So I know so many have created some great booking templates @Robert_Petitto and @Lucas_Pires to name a few. With actions now in place, I’ve been toying with an app in beta just to see what will work. I’m trying to create a booking app for creatives, with all the complexities that come with it (mark…

Thanks for sharing your approach! I’m sure it will help a lot of Gliders to see different methods to create a booking app. My team and I at Riegel Groupe figured out the time block issue not too long after I posted this - I’d have to look back to see exactly what we did since it was a while ago. In…

Firstly, the app looks so nice, as always! Regarding the blocking approach, I was using the same method for my inventory booking app and well it does take a lot of effort and a lot of columns to achieve what I want. I take it here you are looking for a way to block out unavailable times. Let’s say…

Thank you! And yes that’s exactly right. I have it so that once an appointment is booked, that time no longer shows, but also any other times that conflict (slots that start in between the time during the appointment and times that start or end less than 15 min the end of that selected appointment). …

I believe (or am hoping) there’s a formula that can help, but I have no idea where to start with it. How to block out any time frame that a user selects and not just predetermined time blocks like below.

I’m working on similar logic in my new Time Sheet template. I’ve got it working now where a user picks a start and end time (15 minute intervals between them). The list of possible times (for future entries) is then filtered so that the chosen times between the two times are no longer available as c…

Nice! Do you have a screenshot or demo? I’m trying to picture if what you have is similar to what I need to configure in mine. The logic for selecting and removing slots already booked is there. But the ability for a shop owner to suddenly say “Oh I need to run an errand - let me block my calendar f…

First of all, this simple and minimalist design is just stunning!!! Gosh :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

It was super complicated to be honest. Basically, I’d pull in the user’s first, second, third, fourth and fifth submissions per day and run an IFTHEN on each of them to check if they’re before/after the “selected time” (the new one that’s looking to be booked). My times are predetermined choice com…

Coming from you that’s an honor :relaxed:! And @kyleheney I bet. The amount of columns in my sheet is monstrous. Here’s a screenshot. It sounds like we’ve done something similar. It seems like making some predetermined choices even for blocking off times may be the best route. Like “half-day” or c…

[image] Lisa: The amount of columns in my sheet is monstrous. Haha at one point I had created 104 computed columns to get all the 15 minute intervals between two times (up to 12 hour apart). It worked, but the app was so slow to respond it wasnt usable. The filtering by before/after a new tim…

The filter for before/after a time works well for blocking times when the shop is open or closed. I didn’t continue that logic for the appointment booking because if one user books from 11am to 12pm, it doesn’t necessarily mean all earlier times are not available (ex. 9am - 10am). Or perhaps another…

Here’s a video of what I was working on. It shows the ability to book between two submissions.
