Timeline adding Event on Button Click

[Amit]

Hello,

I am trying to to use Timeline to build a conditional survey, where the questions are not known in advance. Expectation is each answer will be added to the Timeline and will be visible to the user.

I am not able to understand how to use Timeline to add the Events as the question is answered. I am using Jquery with .net Core.

Best Regards

Hi Amit,

In general, the Kendo UI Timeline is a widget primarily used for visualization of data. If you would like to add new items, I would recommend making use of the underlying data source of the widget. More specifically using the insert() method:

$("#timeline").getKendoTimeline().dataSource.insert({title:"newly added", description: "description", date:new Date()})

If you would like to save the changes, you should configure the transport.create and schema.model.id options of the data source:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/transport.create
• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/schema#schemamodel

After inserting the item, call the sync method in order to send a request to the server-side and save the new item in the database:
