Date Grouping
The date grouping feature allows you to group the resources of the Scheduler by date based on the selected view.
When you enable the date grouping of the Scheduler, the resources (such as rooms, attendees, equipment, and more) are displayed as columns and the dates are displayed as rows or columns based on the defined orientation (vertical or horizontal).
- Horizontal orientation—The dates or time slots are rendered above the resources as columns. The
Agendaview always displays the dates vertically. - Vertical orientation—The dates or time slots are rendered as rows along the left side of the Scheduler.
To enable the date grouping of the resources, add the Group() configuration, specify the names of the resources in the Resources() option, and set the Date(true) option.
@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<MeetingViewModel>()
.Name("scheduler")
.Resources(resource =>
{
resource.Add(m => m.RoomID)
.Title("Room")
.Name("Rooms")
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.DataColorField("Color")
.BindTo(new[] {
new { Text = "Meeting Room 101", Value = 1, Color = "#6eb3fa" },
new { Text = "Meeting Room 201", Value = 2, Color = "#f58a8a" }
});
})
.Group(group => { group.Resources("Rooms"); group.Date(true); }) // "Rooms" matches the "Name()" option of the defined resource within the "Resources()" configuration.
...// Additional configuration.
)
By default, the resources will be grouped by date horizontally. To group the resources vertically, set the Orientation() option to SchedulerGroupOrientation.Vertical. The available options of the SchedulerGroupOrientation setting are Default (horizontal), Horizontal, and Vertical.
