Appointment in Timeline view using full width

[Mike]

We are using q1 2011.  We are investigating the timeline view and like the slot duration to be 7 days and display 90 days at a time.  When the scheduler is configured this way a one day event will fill the whole 7 day week cell block.  We would like the appointment to only fill 1/7th of the cell horizontally.  We realize that setting the slot duration to one day will resolve this issue but we would like to display 90 days at a time and this creates horizontal scrolling.

I have played around with creating an item template and added a table with two rows.  The first being the title and the second row have 7 cells foreach day and color the corresponding day cell but this logic will become complicated with multiple day events going across weeks.

Any tips would be appreciated

Hi Mike,

We have implemented Exact Time Rendering for such and similar purposes and luckily for you we have just added support for Timeline view (since Q1 2011). You need to turn EnableExactTimeRendering property to true of either RadScheduler (will take effect on Day, Week and Timeline views) or on the view itself. Hope you will enjoy this new feature.

Great.  Now after setting EnableExactTimeRendering=true all of the appointment's titles are not displaying.  For a one day event, just a line displays with no title.  Two day events will display the first two characters of the title.  Is there a way to make the appointments readable?

We have slotduration= 7 days and timelabelspan=1 and number of slots=13 and Columnwidth=100.  We are trying to display 90 days and avoid horizontal scrolling.

Hi Mike,

Well, if the appointments are too small for the displayed view there isn't much that can be done. My advice for you is to consider smaller slots => (therefore) the appointments will appear bigger and the text will be readable.

I am open to using smaller slots but we have to display 90 days at a time.  Using any slot smaller than 7 days will require users to scroll horizontally.

Is it possible to make css changes that will always display the appointment title?  Right now a one day event displays the first character of the title.  I would like the title to display outside the appointment box.

If you could please provide a sample project that displays 90 days (using any variation of slotduration, timelabelspan, numberofslots) using the timeline view and have it be presentable I would really appreciate it.  If it will display a 1 day event's title that is exactly what we need.  Also would like the enableexacttimerendering = true
