</div>
<script>
$(function() {
    $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
        date: new Date("2022/6/13"),
        startTime: new Date("2022/6/13 07:00 AM"),

        views: [
            "day",
            { type: "workWeek", selected: true },
            "week",
            "month",
            "agenda"

        dataSource: {
            batch: true,
            transport: {
                read: {
