ScheduleMe - Powerful Scheduling and Calendar Template

Hi @cody3

Thanks for your interest in the template and reaching out for clarity.

I think core differences that exist are that when a user creates an event, it shouldn’t be an open item that can be added to their calendar at any time, but set at the specific time or recurring time they indicate

The template currently functions in this way. A user creates a schedule of availability for different days of the week, and then creates an event type and during that will either assign an availability for that event, or create a custom availability for that event.

If you wanted to adapt it so that when a person creates an event such as ‘Drive to Doctor’ that needs to occur at 3PM every Saturday, you might find the template to provide more functionality than what you need.

From my understanding of what you’ll need to do is create a data type for users to create ‘Events’ and on that data type you can put a title and description as data fields, both text. You would also create a data field of ‘Day of Week’ which can be a number (0-6 is corresponding to Sunday-Saturday). Then you have a field you label as ‘time’ and make it of type number (save it as a corresponding minute count to the hour and minute of the day they would set it to occur).

From there you can create a datatype called ‘Bookings’ and have a data field that is related to the ’ ‘Events’ datatype. On ‘Bookings’ you can have another data field for Date. This date would be the specific date with the time portion equal to the related “Events” time (can manipulate the date by adding minutes equal to the ‘events’ time (number of minutes) to get the time set on the date saved).

From my view the setup for your use case doesn’t need the full functionality of the ScheduleMe template and you could set things up in your app using the data structure outlined above.

You may be interested in checking out my ‘freelancer’ templates. They are full functional 2-sided marketplaces with a ‘provider’ and a ‘client’. Each is setup for a specific type of industry but can all be easily customized to any industry. If you are looking to get some of your app up and running quickly through a template, I’d imagine that these may get you all the functionality you will need except the booking portion.

Collection of Freelance Service Provider Templates

I have created a series of Freelance Service Provider Templates. These templates all have been developed using the same components and therefore share all the same functionalities. All of the documentation is applicable to each template. They are fully responsive, equipped with payment system, extensive set of emails to communicate with users, fully functioning customer support email system and so much more. The documentation includes over 35 pages outlining every detail of the app data types…
