Views
The Scheduler offers five built-in views tailored to various planning needs and goals, enabling users to simultaneously access all necessary options via a ButtonGroup or a DropDown. This flexibility ensures users can customize their experience to best suit their scheduling requirements.
Day View
The Day View provides a high-level day overview and makes one's availability and tasks instantly visible. It easily coordinates the booking of shared resources by using the grouping feature and is highly customizable as it allows choosing a start/end time, setting different slot durations, and adjusting the number of the displayed days.
Week View
The Week View provides a compact overview of a couple of days and helps the user instantly identify the busiest and most free days of the week.
The Week View can be customized in a way that fits the user needs by setting a start/end weekday or adjusting the number of the displayed days (e.g., displaying working days only).
Month View
The Month View displays several weeks at once which allows the user to get a glimpse of the upcoming month. This view provides grouping based on resources.
Agenda View
The Agenda View displays as much information as possible and takes up the smallest amount of space. It is especially useful for short-term planning and allows changing the background color of the events which creates instant visual distinction.
Timeline View
The Timeline View is the most compact Scheduler view that provides a side-scrolling hour-by-hour look for a single or multiple days. It is often used for assessing deadlines, tracking ongoing events, and avoiding potential overlaps and conflicts.
