Employee Shift Scheduling

Use the summary mode of the timeline view with eventDisplay: 'fill' that can be configured under the timeline settings of the view option.

This will give you summarized daily events similar to the event calendar labels where each event is printed under the appropriate day, time slot (shift) for the appropriate resource one after the other.

Build a custom add/edit dialog with the necessary fields. The event dialog can be fully custom as seen in this CRUD example.

Customize the dialog header with a custom template using the headerTemplate option.
