Resources

The Scheduler HtmlHelper extension supports assigning Scheduler events to a set of predefined resources.

Configuration

Single Resources

The following example demonstrates how to add a Scheduler resource and bind it to local data.

Example

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<KendoSchedulerAjaxEditing.Models.TaskViewModel>()
    .Name("scheduler")
    .Date(new DateTime(2013, 6, 13))
    .StartTime(new DateTime(2013, 6, 13, 7, 00, 00))
    .Height(600)
    .Resources(resource =>
    {
        //specify the field from the model which contains the resource id
        resource.Add(m => m.OwnerID)
             //set the title of the resource
            .Title("Owner")
             //set the field which contains the text of the resource
            .DataTextField("Text")
             //set the field which contains the value of the resource
            .DataValueField("Value")
             //set the field which contains the color of the resource
            .DataColorField("Color")
            //set local data
            .BindTo(new[] {
                new {
                    Text = "Alex", //text of the resource instance
                    Value = 1, //Identifier of the resource instance, use that value to assign an event to this instance.
                    Color = "#ff7663" //Used as the background of events assigned to this resource.
                } ,
                new { Text = "Bob", Value = 2, Color = "#3a8bd8" } ,
                new { Text = "Charlie", Value = 3, Color = "#3ba96a" }
            });
    })
    .Editable(false)
    .Timezone("Etc/UTC")
    .BindTo(Model)
)

Multiple Resource Types

The Scheduler HtmlHelper extension supports unlimited resource types. For example, it enables you to combine the single and the multiple resource examples in a single one.

Important

The widget requires the first resource to have a color field, because the event background color is taken from the first resource.

Example

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Scheduler.MeetingViewModel>()
    .Name("scheduler")
    .Date(new DateTime(2013,6 ,13))
    .StartTime(new DateTime(2013, 6, 13, 7, 00, 00))
    .Height(600)
    .Timezone("Etc/UTC")
    .Resources(resource =>
         {
            //event room resource - single resource
            resource.Add(m => m.RoomID)
                .Title("Room")
                .DataTextField("Text")
                .DataValueField("Value")
                .DataColorField("Color")
                .BindTo(new[] {
                    new { Text = "Meeting Room 101", Value = 1, Color = "#1c9ec4" },
                    new { Text = "Meeting Room 201", Value = 2, Color = "#ff7663" }
                });
            //event atendees resource - multiple resource
            resource.Add(m => m.Atendees)
                .Title("Atendees")
                //set the Multiple option to true
                .Multiple(true)
                .DataTextField("Text")
                .DataValueField("Value")
                .DataColorField("Color")
                .BindTo(new[] {
                    new { Text = "Alex", Value = 1, Color = "#ff7663" } ,
                    new { Text = "Bob", Value = 2, Color = "#3a8bd8" } ,
                    new { Text = "Charlie", Value = 3, Color = "#3ba96a" }
                });
         })
    .Editable(false)
    .BindTo(Model)
)
