Learning Apps > Calendar > Appointment SlotsUsing appointment slots The appointment slots feature lets you set one period of time on your calendar, divided into available time slots for people to reserve. For instance, professors can have their students reserve time during office hours each week, or the library could let anyone visiting their website schedule an appointment for a room during a set time period. Note that in order to reserve one of your appointment slots, people will need to have a Google Calendar account themselves. But it's free and easy for them to create an account, so don't let that stop you from creating appointment slots!
This is a handy tool with many possibilities. Read on to learn how to set up and start using it. Set up appointment slots- Sign in to your Georgia Southern Google account and go to your calendar

30 Oct How to set time limits on Google Forms submissions
Posted at 07:00h in Forms Tips, Google Apps Tip of the Week7 Comments
Student sign up time slots for stations or events I have used Google Forms (plus the choice eliminator add on), Sign Up Genius, Doodle, and many others. While each of these stand alone websites or extensions are useful, they don’t integrate easily with your already existing Google calendar. As of July 2012, Google Notebook has shut down and all Notebook data should now be in Google Docs. As previously announced, in most cases we were able to automatically export the Notebook data, so.
Google have continuously been making improvements to Google Forms, most recently allowing third party add-ons for use within the application. Using the formLimiter Add-on, you can now set a time or capacity limit on your survey to cap your responses.
To get started, head to the Add-ons menu bar and go to ‘Get Add-ons’. Install the formLimiter add-on.

Once you have installed the add-on, you can then find this under ‘Add-ons’. To get started, hover over the Add-on name, formLimiter, and select ‘Set limit’.
A sidebar will appear, which will allow you to set a limit type. This can be date & time, or capacity. For this tip, you want to select date & time.
Now, you can select the date, time and a specific message to be displayed when your form reaches its limit. Organisations who might find this feature particularly useful are those who want to run time sensitive competitions, or who need to gather survey information before a certain deadline. To finish setting your limits, click ‘Save and enable’.

Your form will now automatically expire when your limit date & time arrives. You can choose to receive a notification of this time by clicking the checkbox in the sidebar.
