**Removing Dates from User Selection** To make one or more specific dates unavailable for selection within the form, use the **Disable specific dates or dates by range field**. Use the `YYYY-MM-DD` format to specify the desired dates.

The checkboxes allow you to make unavailable for selection every weekend or every weekday.

To use this feature:

1. Navigate to the **Date** tab of your **Date / Time** component.
2. In the **Minimum Date** field, input the desired date as the **earliest option** for your business users.
3. In the **Maximum Date** field, input the desired date as the **latest option** for your business users. Leaving any of above fields empty permits the user the select any date on the available calendar.

For example, to set the minimum date 10 days prior to the current date:

1. Check the **Use Input to add moment.js for minDate** box.
2. Input `moment().subtract(10,'days')` in the **Minimum Date** field.
3. To set the maximum date 10 days after the current date:
   1. Check the **Use Input to add moment.js for maxDate** box.
   2. Input `moment().add(10,'days') in the **Maximum Date** field.
