I love Google Forms. They are great for creating surveys and collecting data, but with the wonderful Choice Eliminator add-on, you can now use them for scheduling! Choice Eliminator allows you to limit the choices on a form question so that only one person can select an answer. For example, if you are scheduling parent/teacher conferences, you only want one person to be able to select a particular time slot. Once someone has chosen a slot, it no longer appears on the form for others. Below is a short video tutorial on using this cool tool.
- Google Data Centers are the large data center facilities Google uses to provide their services, which combine large drives, computer nodes organized in aisles of racks, internal and external networking, environmental controls (mainly cooling and dehumidification), and operations software (especially as concerns load balancing and fault tolerance).
- Number of BigQuery slots currently allocated for query jobs in the project. Sampled every 60 seconds. After sampling, data is not visible for up to 420 seconds. Slots/allocatedforprojectandjobtype GA Slots used by project and job type GAUGE, INT64, 1 global: Number of BigQuery slots currently allocated for the project and job type.
- If you wanted to break your test into multiple sections in Google Forms, you could impose a time limit on each section. For example, let's say that you want to give a 30 question test. You could break that test into three sections of ten questions by making three separate Forms.
Go to the day in Google Calendar for your conferences. Locate the large block of time for your appointment slots (not the small individual appointments that have been made).Click on the large. Google Forms becomes a great tool to use for sign-ups when you’re able to limit the number of people who can sign up for a time slot or activity.
Need more than one person to be able to sign up for something? No worries, look at this advanced feature of Choice Eliminator that is perfect for conference session scheduling!
Google Form Appointment Time Slot
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

You're all set up! Your appointment block will display as a single event on your calendar and the calendars of any invitees.
