Drag and Drop Permissions

The drag & drop interactions can be fine-tuned depending on the requirements and situations. Maybe controlled by roles, event types, resources the move and resize can be turned on/off on an event basis or globally on the instance.

  • Events can be fixed in length (cannot be resized) - by setting dragToResize option to false the events cannot be resized.
  • Events can be fixed in time (cannot be moved) - by setting dragInTime option to false the events cannot be moved in time. Take in consideration that dragToMove must be set to true

To control this on an event basis, use the appropriate properties which have precedence over global calendar options.
