Sharepoint Radscheduler timeline view

[g]

Hi,

I am evaluating the Radscheduler, specifically the webpart version. I deployed it to my development sp2010 box OK but I hadve two questions that I have so far been unable to answer:

1) Can the default period in the timeline be extended? 3 days is OK if you're working with hours but I would liek to be able to see a month (I don't need to see hours)

2) Can I add resource headings in timeline view somehow to get the "group scheduler" look that I saw in your silverlight scheduler demo?

I am trying to create a group/team resource scheduler where I can drag jobs (appointments) between different peoples calendars a bit like the sp2010 Group Calendar view.

Many thanks

Hi G,

In general you can extend the default period in the timeline - please take a look at this online demo.
Currently we do not provide this option in the Telerik SPRadScheduler Web Part configuration panel, but you can try inheriting the TelerikSPRadSchedulerWebPart class in order to set the relevant properties.  Another approach is to create a Visual Web Part with a RadScheduler control in it.

Regarding your second question: in our latest Beta release we introduced the Resource Grouping feature in the TelerikSPRadScheduler Web Part. In a few days we will publish a demo for this feature and I will update you once the demo is online.

Regarding the drag and drop functionality - I am afraid that there is a limitation in RadScheduler - user can drop an appointment on the RadScheduler but cannot drag an appointment from the RadScheduler.
That is why currently we do not provide this feature in TelerikSPRadSchedulerWebPart.

All the best,

Hello G,

You can find the "Resources and Grouping" Telerik SPRadScheduler WebPart demo here.

Thanks Kalina,

The resource view looks exactly what I am after so thanks for that.

Regarding extending the timeline period, I assume that the first approach requires code and the second does not. I am correct in thinking that I insert the TelerikSPRadSchedulerWebPart into a visual web part within Sharepoint?

thanks

Hello G,

Please excuse me for the delay.

I am afraid that extending the Timeline period will require writing a custom code.
In order to make this you need to set two RadScheduler properties : TimelineView-SlotDuration( for example 24 – for 24h duration) TimelineView-NumberOfSlots(Since days count of every month might vary between 30 or 31 days you will have to decide what number of slots to be most suitable for you).
