Material resources?

[Al]

I was wondering whether the resources are intended only for people/time based resources or if it is ok to use for material/quantity type resources eg. cement, wire etc.

It looks like I can customize the unit number format to show kg, metres

Hello,

You can use the resources.dataFormatField option, to specify how the resource will appear. Here's an example: https://dojo.telerik.com/EQArOliR

Yes, that is what I was looking at to format the units. I just wanted to confirm that there is nothing in the gantt that makes the resources aimed specifically at 'people' resources.

I was revisiting this, as per your suggestion this string works fine:

    unit: "#:value # metres",

but it rounds the value and outputs eg."1 metres" when the value entered into the gantt edit screen is 1.3 - what would the format string need to be to display "1.3 metres"?

ps I can find absolutely no documentation on the "#" and ":value" formatting options...

Hi,

You can set the format like this to display "1.3 meters":

{ id: 1, name: "Wire", color: "#32cd32", unit: "0.0" + "meters"}

Or "0.00", if you want to show two digits after the decimal point.

That works, thank Ivan!

 

Is there any way to change the default editor for some resources to be only whole numbers? Currently the buitlin number editor increments/decrements 0.01 at a time

Al,

Currently, the Gantt's API does not provision a configuration option or method for controlling this behavior. Consider logging this as a feature request in our Feedback Portal: https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui
