Schedule Field: How to Set Up & Use

The schedule field sets your availability and events directly to Google Calendar.

You’ll find the  Schedule Field in the builder’s Toolbox. You can click on the "+" sign to simply add it to the bottom of your form. Or you can select, drag & drop the field anywhere you like in your form.

Make sure the Schedule Field you’ve added to the form is selected so that its unique Settings are shown on the right corner of your builder.

Settings:

• Status: Editable - can be edited by form users, Hidden - invisible to users.
