Date fields vs Scheduling page

Date fields (Date picker, Date time picker, and Date range) collect a date input. Common use cases include:
  • Asking a repondent’s date of birth
  • Collecting project deadlines
  • Gathering travel or vacation dates
  • Tracking project start and end dates
  • Collecting multiple availabilities
On the other hand, Scheduling pages reserve available time slots on an individual’s calendar (Google or Outlook calendar).
