Need to enable certain dates to be selectable based on the logged in user. So the dates to be enabled and disabled for each user and it should be dynamic based on certain business rules. Is it possible to achieve this in Appian?

Sure. You would just have to build it from scratch. You could start with a simple read only grid and add rich text fields to the cells.

I am not sure what you are looking for. I do not have any ready made example at hand, and filling a grid with dates is simple.

Example : To block the meeting date ->

Meeting date can be selected only within certain date range for all users (e.g.., March 1 to June 30)
All the bank holidays should be disabled to avoid selecting the holiday dates by mistake for all users.
For a particular location, if the date has been selected by one user, same date should not be able to select by other user for the same location. So once the date is booked, it should be disabled in the calendar based on the location selection
Same user cannot select the same date for two different locations. So once the date is booked, it should be disabled in the calendar based on the logged in user as well

Hi Hari,

Can you provide few examples? ideally you can achieve this using isusermemeberofgroups, rule output etc.

If you can let me know what exactly you are looking for , that would be great.

So, what exactly are you looking for?

Is this about the data model design, the business logic, or how to display it to the user?

Hi there.

did you find a proper approach for your requirement? Did you implement a calendar component to allow date selection of valid dates only? I couldn't find an out-of-the-box calendar for that purpose (maybe the Groundswell calendar, but I prefer to reduce dependencies). I have a similar requirement, and I plan to use a combination of grid/cards/anything else approach to achieve it. But I would like to hear from you about what you did and your thoughts.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I followed a similar approach to this Calendar Component (Card Layout).

Thank you.
