    Hi, 

    As the title says, is it possible to apply a a resource based on a condition or multiple fields?

    For example, I'd like to colour events based on 'age' and 'country'. eg. country=SA && age<30. 

    Is this possible, or is there a work around that can achieve this?

    Thanks,
    Grant

    Hi Grant,

    An event can be colored based on a condition that checks the value of a single or several fields, by using eventTemplate. For example:
    <style> 
      .custom-event {
        height: 100%;
        background-color: red;
      }
    </style>
    <script id="event-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
        #if(data.country == "SA" && data.age < 30){#
          <div class="custom-event">
            <div>Title: #: title #</div>
      </div>
        #}else{#
          <div>
            <div>Title: #: title #</div>
      </div>
        #}#
    </script>

    Passing the template to the Scheduler:
    eventTemplate: $("#event-template").html(),

    Note that those fields don't necessarily have to be set as Scheduler resources. Here's a dojo example that demonstrates this approach. 

    If you set a field as a resource, you can specify how all events that have a specific resource value can be colored. In the example above all events that have the country="SA" resource will be colored "lightblue" and all events with country="US" will be colored "lightgreen", because these are the colors of the country resource.
    { text: "SA", value: "SA", key: "lightblue" },
    { text: "US", value: "US", key: "lightgreen" }

    However, in the template conditionally we add a div element in the template if age < 30, that's why the "Interview SA 20" event is colored in red. 

    However
