ResourceType and Grouping

[Roberto Moro]

Hi,
I have a question about your control RadScheduleView. 
I have a ObservableCollection of ResourceType like this:

ResourceType centraleType = new ResourceType("CENTRALE");
centraleType.Resources.Add(new Resource("centrale1"));
centraleType.Resources.Add(new Resource("centrale2"));
centraleType.Resources.Add(new Resource("centrale3"));

ResourceType unitaType = new ResourceType("UNITA");
unitaType.Resources.Add(new Resource("unità1"));
unitaType.Resources.Add(new Resource("unità2"));
unitaType.Resources.Add(new Resource("unità3"));

ResourcesTypes.Add(centraleType);
ResourcesTypes.Add(unitaType);

I use this grouping settings:

<telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>
          <telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>
                    <telerik:DateGroupDescription/>
                    <telerik:ResourceGroupDescription ResourceType="CENTRALE"/>
                    <telerik:ResourceGroupDescription ResourceType="UNITA"/>
         </telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>
</telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>

And that generate the result in the attached picture.

I want to have different "unità" for every "centrale", a thing like that:

centrale1 -> unità1, unità2
centrale2 -> unità3
centrale3 -> unità4,unità5,unità6

Is this possible?

Thanks

Roberto

Hello Roberto,

I'm afraid that RadScheduleView doesn't support a hierarchical resource grouping.  This feature is in our ToDo list but is not scheduled yet.

We hope that this is not a show stopper for you.

Hello,

I return to this post, because I'm in the same issue and unfortunately I can't find any solutions.

Telerik innovations or solutions to this problem?

Hi Ramos,

Hierarchical resource grouping feature was delayed and at the moment we cannot specify a timeframe for implementing it.

All the best,

We are building a new product and are having this same issue. 

When is this scheduled to be fixed?

Thanks

Hello,

I am afraid that there is nothing new regarding this feature. I would suggest to use the approach demonstrated in this online example - you need to have a different ViewDefinition for each main resource.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,
Do you have an example project that I could look at?  I want to create a fiscal year reporting caleandar that is hieratical - Years have Quarters which have Months which have Weeks.

Hi Todd,

You could check the online example I referred in the previous post:

Yana,
Yes I am aware of the online demo, but am interested in a Visual Studio project if you have something available.

Hi Todd,

We do not have a simpler project at hand. However, you could download the online demos from your account and open them in Visual Studio.

Yana,
Thank you.  I didn't know I could do that.

Hi Nicolas,

You can vote for this feature and track its progress at the following link:
http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/details/Issue=4912

Note that implementing this feature will require major rework of the ScheduleView grouping functionality and could lead to some breaking changes, that is why currently it is not included in our immediate plans.

Art,
What I did is put the top item in a listbox and used categories for each sub-item.  The calendar showed only one "group" at a time using this method, but it basically accomplished what I was trying to do.  The down-side is I can't display multiple of the top item at the same time.  See the attachment.

I thought this was an interesting thread, so much so I wanted to throw in a quick thought.

I think there is enough call for a Hierarchal Schedule Control that it should be considered outside and apart from the current ScheduleView control. 
I think there may be enough interest on the WPF side to warrant consideration of this (as unfortunately SL demand isn't a big influencer).
