8 By default, the appointment finder supports the languages German and Englisch. You can add support for further languages by adding the appropriate language files for the jQuery UI datepicker. See the [[datepicker help page>>doc:Formcycle.Designer.Form.CodingPanel.ScriptTab.AdjustDateFormat||anchor="HExistinglanguage"]] for more info. To change the text that indicates the currently selected date, edit the [[i18n variable>>doc:Formcycle.UserInterface.FilesAndTemplates.I18nVariables]] "appointementText".

15 == Overview ==
16
17 The form element //appointment finder// adds a calendar to the form. Here the user can select a date and time for an event and book an appointment. This feature requires that you have configured the available appointments in the the [[appointment management>>doc:Formcycle.UserInterface.Appointments.WebHome]] menu of the backend.
18
19 Furthermore, the user can also move or cancel existing appointments. To do so, they just need to reopen a submitted form, change or delete the selected date, and submit the form again.

33 |Closeable|When activated, the full calendar with the available currently selected month and the available dates is always shown. When deactivated, only a text field with the selected date is shown initially. The callendar is shown only once the user clicks on the button to the right of the text field.
34 |Available slots|When activated, the number of free slots is shown for each available time. The number of available slots depends on the capacity that was set on the schedule in the [[appointment management menu>>doc:Formcycle.UserInterface.Appointments.WebHome]] in the backend.
35 |Appointment end|When activated, the end time is shown for each available time. Otherwise, only the start time is shown.
36 |Date format|Here you can select the format that is used for displaying dates and times. You can either select one of the pre-defined formats, or enter your own format. If the latter, the syntax of the format string must conform to the rules set out by the [[JQuery UI datepicker>>url:https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#utility-formatDate||target="_blank"]].
37 |Disabled|Whether the user can the the date and time of the selected appointment, or select an appointment at all if not appointment is selected yet.
38 |Hidden|Whether the appointment finder is shown or hidden.

69 === Reading the value via JavaScript ===
70
71 The value of an appointment finder element named {{code language="none"}}app1{{/code}} can be read as a timestamp in JavaScript using the following jQuery statement:
72
73 {{code language="javascript"}}
74 $('[xn=app1] .XAppointmentSlotId').val();
75 {{/code}}
76
77 To get a {{code language="none"}}Date{{/code}} object from the obtained timestamp, the value must be parsed accordingly. For example, to store the value as {{code language="none"}}Date{{/code}} in a variable named {{code language="none"}}appointment{{/code}}, the following code can be used:
78
79 {{code language="javascript"}}
80 var appointment = new Date( parseInt($('[xn=app1] .XAppointmentSlotId').val(),10) );
