Signup form settings

Participants can register for tasks, time slots, or items, often used for organizing activities and events.

Signup limits

When you create a Signup poll, you'll have the option to limit how many participants can sign up for each slot. You can also limit how many stotal lots each participant can select across your signup page.

On the settings page, choose the quantity for both of these options.

Specify Times

Set the 'Specify times for each day' to 'Dates and times' if you want to show specific times on your singup page.

The times you enter will be based on your current timezone on the browser you are viewing TallyCal with.

Under 'Select a time' you can choose the starting time for each option you will add to your poll. Then you can select the duration for each day you will add to your poll.

You can switch the view to show all times in 24-hour format, if preferred. By default, it will show the format saved to your profile. If you are not logged in, the default will be 12-hour time format.

Show days of week only

You can choose to show the week day only on your poll options. This will not show a date. So if you choose Monday, March 13th as a poll option then your participants will only see Monday if you have this feature turned on.

Show day of week only

Add dates to your poll

After you select the start time and duration, you can choose days on the calendar grid below. When you click on a date, it will add an option to the list of poll choices at the bottom of the page. If you click that same date again, it will remove the choices for that date from the list at the bottom of the page.

Adjust start and end time for a timeslot

Once you have added your dates, you can adjust the time and dates for each option by clicking on them individually. This allows you to make a timeslot end on a different day than it started.

Add additional timeslots to a date

You can also add another timeslot to the same starting date. Simply press the "+" symbol next to the date. It will create another timeslot, using the 'start time' and 'duration' settings from the top of the page.

Delete a timeslot

You can press the 'Trash' icon next to a timeslot to delete it from your poll. However, if you delete a timeslot that has been voted on already in a published poll, you will lose that data for the timeslot, and will not be able to recover it.

Add timeslots without times

If you want your poll to offer full day options, without showing specific times, then simply set 'Specify times for each day' to 'Date only'.

Slot allowance

You can add up to 15 slots per poll. If you are a TallyCal Pro user, you can add unlimited timeslots per poll.

Add labels

You can add a label next to any timeslot. This tells the participant what type of activity they will be signing up for during that time.

Simply click add label next to the timeslot, and type in the description.

Remove a label

To remove a label, click it again, and delete the text. Then save.

Labels only

If you want to create a signup poll without any dates or times, set the 'Specify times for each day' to 'Labels only'.
