Hi, 

To add an event in the Scheduler, a user would double click the time slot where they want to add the event, and the popup would appear for then to do so. Is it possible to skip this step? I'm trying to create functionality so that when a user double clicks a time slot, a new event is auto-generated and saved without any further user interaction required. The new event would have the start and end date/time of the selected slot and 2 dynamically set additional resources, before it can be saved (Im using a customer eventTemplate, so the title is not required). 

Thanks in advance,

Grant

Hello Grant,

You can accomplish your goal using the Scheduler edit event and SchedulerDataSource API. Basically, in the edit event handler, you would need to:
  • prevent default action (to avoid showing editor form)
  • modify e.event if needed
  • sync the changes using the dataSource instance

How to use the SchedulerDataSource API is shown in this how-to demo:

I've figured out a round -about way to do this, by triggering the 'saveEvent' when the editable window opens:

$("#schedule").kendoScheduler({
    editable: {
        window: {
            animation: false,  //Prevents user from seeing the 'add' window
            open: function(e) {

                 //triggers save as soon as the window opens

                $("#schedule-").data("kendoScheduler").saveEvent(); 
            }
        }
    },
 
    add: function(e) {
        e.event.location = 1;
        e.event.appointmentType = 1;
    }
});

If there is a better way to achieve my required result, please say so. I need this functionality to work as efficiently as possible.

Thanks,

Grant

I think Georgi and I were posting at the same time so I didnt see his response before I answered.

His answer is however a better solution and has been marked as the answer.

Thanks @Georgi,
Grant
