Special slots

[Cécile]

In vue "Day", How to display area (SlotTemplate) over several hours with text inside, in background of scheduler.

[Veselin Tsvetanov]

Hello Ceclie,

You could span the slot on the Scheduler Day view over several hours by configuring its view.majorTickn and view.minorTickCount:

views: [{
  type: "day",
  slotTemplate: kendo.template("<strong>#=kendo.toString(date)#</strong>"),
  majorTick: 120,
  minorTickCount: 1
}],

The above will display one slot spanning for each two hours in the Scheduler widget. It will also use the slotTemplate in order to display a text (date) as a background in each slot. Here you will find a small sample implementing the above.

If you need to implement the same for the Scheduler Vue wrapper, here is the way to go:

<kendo-scheduler :data-source="localDataSource"

         :date="date"

         :height="600"

         :timezone="'Etc/UTC'">

  <kendo-scheduler-view :type="'day'"

      :major-tick="120"
      :minor-tick-count="1"

      :slot-template="'<strong>#=kendo.toString(date)#</strong>'">

  </kendo-scheduler-view>

</kendo-scheduler>

I hope, that the above helps you. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi,

Thanks for answer.

In fact, I am trying to create zones containing multiple time slots in the same area, much like an event with a start and end date but apply to a slotTemplate.

I don't know if it's feasible?

Hello Cecile,

As far as I can understand, you need to create a special slot, which contains a number of, lets say "simple", slots. At the same time you need to maintain the smaller slots still present in the view.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the required could not be configured for the Scheduler. In case you think that such option would add value to the widget, I would suggest you to log your idea as a feature request on our Feedback portal. Based on the support it receives from the community, we will decide on whether to proceed with its implementation or not.
