# Limit the dates and times people can pick

You can limit the dates respondents pick and the times they choose by setting rules in a date or time question.

## Limit dates

1. Add or open a date question, then find **Date limits** below **Date Format** in your question.
2. Set **Earliest date** to **Today** to block past dates. You can also choose **Days from today** or **Specific date**.
3. Set **Latest date** if you need an end date. Under **Unavailable days**, select weekdays respondents can't book.

If you choose **Days from today**, enter a whole number from -3650 to 3650. **Today** uses each respondent's local date. Your date format must include a year for date limits to apply.

You can't block individual dates, such as holidays, or set different date rules for each weekday.

## Limit times

1. Add or open a time question, then find **Available times** in your question.
2. Set **From** and **To** to define your booking window. Both times are included.
3. Choose an **Interval** to control the gaps between times. You can choose 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

Time values use 24-hour format and whole minutes, and respondents see times every 15 minutes when you don't set an interval. If **From** is later than **To**, your form won't apply the limit until you fix the range.

You can set one time range per day. You can't set overnight ranges or different hours for each weekday. These settings also don't limit booking capacity per time slot.

You can use date and time limits on all plans.
