We also understand that it is hard to receive certain info like dates and times from users in a standardised format if input was left to the user. We also understand that typing out full times and dates can be a hassle for the user.
As such, TARS bot builder allows bot creators to use scrollers for date and time to enhance user experience and standardise input.
Date Scroller
Within the date scroller option, creators can customise which dates users are allowed to input. The options are All Dates, Past Dates and Future Dates.
In addition builders have the option of making input optional within this gambit or allowing users to submit multiple dates before moving on to the next question.
Time Scroller
Within the Time scroller option creators can customise the increments of time that users can scroll through using the Time steps to take configuration. As of now creators have the choice of 5, 15, 30 and 60 minute increments.
