How to use Glide’s date and time picker effectively?

Step 1: Access Your Glide App

First things first, log in to Glide and open up the app where you want to use the date and time picker.

Step 2: Navigate to the Layout Editor

Click on the "Layout" tab. This is where you can add or tweak components.

Step 3: Add or Select a Form

Pick the form where you want to add the date and time picker. If you don't have a form yet, just click the "Add Form" button to create one.

Step 4: Insert the Date and Time Picker

Inside the form, hit the “+” button to add a new component. From the list, choose the "Date & Time" picker.

Step 5: Configure Date Picker Settings

Under the “Component” tab, set up the date picker:

  • Label: Give it a name that makes sense for what it's for.
  • Column: Pick or create the column in your Google Sheet where the date will be saved.
  • Required: Turn this on if you want to make sure people have to pick a date.

Step 6: Customize Date Range

To limit the date range:

  • Go to the “Options” section.
  • Set the “Minimum Date” and “Maximum Date” if you want to restrict the date choices.

Step 7: Enable or Disable Time Picker

Decide if users need to pick a time too:

  • Toggle the “Use Time Picker” option if you need time selection.

Step 8: Test the Date and Time Picker

Run a test by opening the form on a mobile or desktop view. Make sure the date and time picker works as expected. Check that the data is saved correctly in the Google Sheet.

Step 9: Save and Publish Changes

Once everything looks good, save your changes and publish the app so users can start using the date and time picker.
