How to use the date (and time) block

When to use

Use the date block to let your respondents select a date and optionally a time, for example to make an appointment.

How to use

Add a new block to your form and then select the question type Date. You can now customize this block to your needs with the following features.

Basic features

Each question block has basic features to present the block the way you need, for example Name, Description and Help text. And most of the question blocks have common options, like the Required and Exportability options.

More information about these basic features can be found in the help article about our form builder.

Additional features

On top of those basic features, the date block has the following advanced options:

• Time

  By enabling the Time feature, you can let your respondents also enter a time with the date.

• Range

  By enabling the Range feature, you can let the block ask for two dates, namely a From date and a To date. The form will automatically show two date fields if this feature is enabled.

  If enabled, you can also enter two separate Placeholders for the date fields in the form.

• Limit values

  By enabling the Limit values feature, you can determine in between what dates the answered date(s) have to be. You can select the minimum and maximum date (including an optional time).

Branch conditions

Logic is important to make your forms smart and conversational. The date block can work with the following branch conditions to help you with that:

Basic and evaluate conditions

• When value is equal to your filter;
• When value is before your filter;
• When value is after your filter;
• When value is between your filters;
• When value is specified;
• When value is not specified.
