# Time Picker (Pro feature)

## What is a Time Element? 

**Time element** is a feature in the **Cost Calculator**. It allows users to choose a specific time or a range of time for providing a service or making an appointment. It is **available** in the **Pro version** of Cost Calculator. If you are using the free version, you can upgrade to the Pro version to access this element.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

There are two modes available for time arrangement: basic and advanced. In the basic mode, users can select a particular time. In the advanced mode, they can choose a range of times, such as between 12 pm and 3 pm.

## When Can You Use It?&#x20;

You can use the Time element in many cases. Whether your website users need to schedule appointments, bookings, or services.&#x20;

Some examples of use cases of the Time element for your users:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/cost-calculator-builder/calculator-elements/time-picker-pro-feature.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
