Meeting Capture FollowupTimesScreen: 2 date pickers to select Start and End

[whabicht]

I'd like to search for Follow-up meeting times using a range (rather than a day at a time). This would enable my team to search for possible meeting dates over the next month, for example.

I'm thinking two date pickers, but I'm really struggling to get it right. 

Something that could look like this:

Here's the code options to adjust:

OnStart

Concurrent(Set(MyCalendarID,LookUp(Office365.CalendarGetTables().value,DisplayName=LookUp(CalendarLocalizedLabel,Value=DisplayName).Value).Name);ClearCollect(AllFutureEvents,Office365.GetEventsCalendarView(MyCalendarID,Text(Today(),UTC),Text(DateAdd(Today(),2,Days),UTC)).Values),Set(MyUserProfile,Office365Users.MyProfile().Id),

    /*used to determine if meeting attendees are in app user's org*/
Set(MyDomain,Last(Split(User().Email,"@")).Result),

    /*used to determine countdown to end of selected meeting*/
Set(HomeTimerStart,Now()));

/*Meetings are defined to be calendar events less than 6 hours in length*/
ClearCollect(MeetingsOnly,Filter(AddColumns(AllFutureEvents,"isCurrent",DateDiff(Start,Now(),Seconds)>0&&DateDiff(Now(),End,Seconds)>0),DateDiff(Start,End,Hours)<6));Set(NumberOfCurrentMeetings,CountRows(Filter(MeetingsOnly,isCurrent)));

/*If a single meeting is happening now, autoselect it*/
If(NumberOfCurrentMeetings=1,Set(AutoSelectMeeting, true );Set(SelectedMeeting,LookUp(MeetingsOnly,isCurrent)))

FollowUpTimesScreen --> Button ('Find Available Times')

ClearCollect(MeetingTimes,AddColumns(
Office365.FindMeetingTimes(
{
MaxCandidates:15,MinimumAttendeePercentage: 1, 
MeetingDuration: MeetingDurationSelection.SelectedText.Minutes,
Start:Text(DateAdd(DatePicker1.SelectedDate,MeetingStartRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC),
End:Text(DateAdd(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, MeetingEndRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC),
RequiredAttendees:Concat(FollowUpMeetingAttendees,UserPrincipalName & ";")
}
)
.MeetingTimeSuggestions,"StartTime",MeetingTimeSlot.Start.DateTime,
"EndTime",MeetingTimeSlot.End.DateTime));
Set(ShowMeetingTimes, true);
Set(Loading, false)

Gallery

SortByColumns(MeetingTimes,"Confidence",Descending,"StartTime",Ascending)

Hi @whabicht ,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to filter meeting time records using Date time range which across different dates rather than within one day?

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Within your FollowUpTimesScreen, set the OnSelect property of the "Find Available Times" button to following:

Set(Loading, true);
ClearCollect(
             MeetingTimes,
             AddColumns(
                 Office365.FindMeetingTimes({
                                           MaxCandidates:15,
                                           MinimumAttendeePercentage: 1, 
                                           MeetingDuration: MeetingDurationSelection.SelectedText.Minutes,
        Start: Text(DateAdd(StartDatePicker.SelectedDate, MeetingStartRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC), // Modify formula here
        End: Text(DateAdd(EndDatePicker.SelectedDate, MeetingEndRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC),   // Modify formula here
                         RequiredAttendees:Concat(FollowUpMeetingAttendees,UserPrincipalName & ";")}).MeetingTimeSuggestions,
                         "StartTime", MeetingTimeSlot.Start.DateTime,
                         "EndTime", MeetingTimeSlot.End.DateTime
            )
);
Set(ShowMeetingTimes, true);
Set(Loading, false)

Note: Please replace the StartDatePicker and EndDatePicker with actual DatePicker names in your FollowUpTimesScreen.

After that, please re-load your app, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

[whabicht]

Thanks @v-xida-msft . It's working like a charm. The last issue I could use help with is figuring out how to display more than 15 meeting options in the gallery. Do you have any idea how I might accomplish that?
You have been super helpful. I appreciate it.

On your side, you should modify your formula as below:

Set(Loading, true);
ClearCollect(
             MeetingTimes,
             AddColumns(
                 Office365.FindMeetingTimes({
                                           MaxCandidates: 48,  // modify formula here
                                           MinimumAttendeePercentage: 1, 
                                           MeetingDuration: MeetingDurationSelection.SelectedText.Minutes,
        Start: Text(DateAdd(StartDatePicker.SelectedDate, MeetingStartRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC), // Modify formula here
        End: Text(DateAdd(EndDatePicker.SelectedDate, MeetingEndRange.SelectedText.Minutes, Minutes), UTC),   // Modify formula here
                         RequiredAttendees:Concat(FollowUpMeetingAttendees,UserPrincipalName & ";"),
                         ActivityDomain: "Unrestricted", // add formula here
                         IsOrganizerOptional: false    // add formula here
             }).MeetingTimeSuggestions,
                         "StartTime", MeetingTimeSlot.Start.DateTime,    
                         "EndTime", MeetingTimeSlot.End.DateTime        
            )
);
Set(ShowMeetingTimes, true);
Set(Loading, false)

Please take a try with above formula, then re-click the "Find Available Times" button again, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
