Scheduler - 3 Resource groups + Task Color

[Matt]

Kendo UI version: 2016.1.112

 

I have a scheduler (using AngularJS), within it, I have 3 resource groups:

 

• Task Type
• Employee
• Store

Task Type has a data source with the colour (sample later) and the other two data sources do not. If I comment out those other two data sources in resources then the background color of task type appears correctly. If I uncomment employee and store groups again then I lose the Task Type color again. 

 

 

01.resources: [
02.    {
03.        title: "Task",
04.        field: "TaskType",
05.        dataSource: [
06.            {
07.                text: "Normal Shift",
08.                value: "Shift",
09.                color: "#337ab7"
10.            },
11.            {
12.                text: "Need cover",
13.                value: "Need cover",
14.                color: "#d9534f"
15.            },
16.            {
17.                text: "Covering Shift",
18.                value: "Covering Shift",
19.                color: "#d9edf7"
20.            },
21.            {
22.                text: "Unplanned leave",
23.                value: "Unplanned",
24.                color: "#f2dede"
25.            },
26.            {
27.                text: "Planned leave",
28.                value: "Planned leave",
29.                color: "#fcf8e3"
30.            }
31.        ]
32.    },
33.    {
34.        field: "EmployeeId",
35.        dataTextField: "ShortName",
36.        dataValueField: "Id",
37.        title: "Emplyoee",
38.        dataSource: [
39.            data.employee
40.        ]
41.    },
42.    {
43.        title: "Store",
44.        field: "AndromedaSiteId",
45.        dataSource: data.stores,
46.        dataValueField: "AndromedaSiteId",
47.        dataTextField: "Name"
48.    }
49.]

 

 

The task data is all correct. Value fields are selected correctly in the model... but I really want that color from task type (without forcing it through myself preferably, or commenting out the other two resources). 

Any ideas? 

 

Best Regards,

Ok self ... if I move the task resource type to the top of the resource types it picks it up correctly. 

This will probably do ... 

But is there a way to choose which resource type is selected for the color rather than the position in the array?

Hi Matt,

Currently there is no other way of selecting which resource color to be used other than placing it in the first place of the array. You can however share your idea at Kendo UI UserVoice to allow other users vote for it. Most voted ideas are included in next Kendo UI releases.
