Get an overview across all resources over a full month. Easily zoom in by controlling the timeCellSteps and timeLabelSteps as seen in this example. By default the timeline: { type: 'month' } as configured under the view option renders with daily horizontal resolution.

Use the summary mode of the timeline view with eventList: true 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.

When scheduling work orders and synchronizing them across various assets, the timeline can be of enormous value. Resources of the same type can be grouped and arranged in multi-depth hierarchies. The list of various assets, employees, contractors can be added and organized under it.

For add/edit a custom form with the necessary fields (including resources) can be built. Resources linked to a work order can be of various categories, eg. drivers, trucks, contractors and will show up in their respective rows.

You can use the date header template and add a simple event template to show the $ value and print the total daily revenue below every day in the header.

Setting up meetings across multiple timezones is messy and hard task. In this example, built with the Mobiscroll scheduler we've laid out a timeline with multiple resources that represent the teammates. Each team member can be in separate timezones which means we need to account for the various offsets.

First we need to set a base timezone, which for the sake of simplicity is UTC and it is the timezone of the first resource, the meeting organizer. This also means that the scheduler operates in this timezone set through the dataTimezone and displayTimezone options. To learn more about timezone management take a look at this example.

Because all resources are part of the same calendar they operate in the same timezone. That's why we need to somehow communicate the work hours with the correct offsets so that the person doing the scheduling can easily find the best times for the meeting. For that we are setting colored backgrounds with time labels that show the "working hours", "flex hours" and "time off". Besides the colored backgrounds we've also set "time off" to invalid for validation purposes. On how to work with disabled times and how to override them take a look at this example.

The last thing that needed to be done is to override the event rendering with a custom template. In the custom template/render function we can account for the offsets and print the times in the team members timezone instead of the base timezone (UTC in this example). Learn how to create a custom event template.

With the combination of the timeline summary mode/event listing, time slots and the time slot templating features along with hierarchical resources you can create a restaurant shift planning UI.

The example features templating, dynamic occupancy count (how many employees are working on a specific shift), dynamically turning shifts on/off, switching between week and day view and much more. The header features custom components for filtering the view.

Try signing somone up for work by double clicking on an empty shift position.

Use the timeline summary mode/event listing to create a weekly meal planner. Meal types are represented as resources with a custom template. Events are the actual meals with custom properties, like calories or notes.

The add/edit form shows up in a custom popover that opens on double click for meal creation and on click for editing.

By default the second dimension of the timeline (vertical axis) is reserved for resources, however it can be configured and used as "time slots" if the times are not relevant.

The options of the timeline can be dynamically changed. That applies to both the color and invalid options which control the resource track background colors and their valid state.

Based on the type of event someone wants to add or create we can highlight resources that support that type of event and invalidate resources that don't.

In the following example we have two types of tasks/events: HW for Hardware and SW for Software tasks. We also have two teams or two groups of resources: HW Team and SW Team. What we want to do is enforce event creation for teams based on the type of event: HW for the hardware team and SW for the software team.

We'll use the onEventDragStart and onEventDragEnd lifecycle events to highlight & invalidate and then set everything back to the default state. We have access to the event.category through the lifecycle event's args.

While the timeline can easily render multiple days horizontally with hourly resolutions, in some situations it makes sense to multiply the vertical scrolling height and set a resolutionVertical to day even if working with multiple resources.

To render a timetable for multiple classrooms for a whole week the horizontal timeline can be reduced from 8AM to 8PM and days along with the classrooms can be listed vertically Monday to Friday.

Use the resolutionVertical and startTime/endTime properties in combination with the startDay/endDay properties of the timeline to set such a view up.

While the timeline is great for working with many resources where each resource is rendered vertically with their own track, in case of a single resource you can use the vertical space to render multiple days.

By setting the resolutionVertical to day and keeping the horizontal resolution hourly, you can easily render month views where the days of the month is listed vertically and the daily timeline is laid out horizontally.

The timeline comes with built-in support for day, week, month and year views. For those situations where a custom range makes more sense, it is possible to override the calendar navigation component with a range picker.

The calendar header can be easily customized and a two-way synchronization needs to be kept between the timeline and range picker.

Besides customizing the background color of cells and setting up invalid/blocked out times you can customize how these blocks and disabled times look by passing a cssClass to the colors and invalid array elements.

The output could be a custom pattern, custom styling for the labels or anything that you'd like to render as the background. This a great way for adding special meaning to certain days and time ranges.

By default the height of the timeline tracks will adjust to accommodate the events inside. However, in some cases it is desired that the track heights remain equal, and distribute the overlapping events evenly inside the track. This can be achieved by using the rowHeight: 'equal' property under the timeline configuration of the view option.

The height of the timeline tracks have a minimum height of 52px. This means that regardless of the available vertical space the height of the timeline rows never shrinks below that number.

If there is more vertical space available the rows automatically grow to fill it. Eg. if the parent container is 250px and there are only two resources, their height will grow to fill the full height minus the calendar header.

This can however be overridden with a custom CSS rule:

.md-timeline-height .mbsc-timeline-resource,
.md-timeline-height .mbsc-timeline-row {
    min-height: 120px;
}

In situations when users are interested in seeing a daily summary rather than an hour-by-hour layout of events use the eventList: true property under the timeline configuration of the view option.

This is especially useful for spotting overloaded resources/days and helps in managing and creating efficient schedules.

Scheduling people, teams or an entire workforce requires different views. Sometimes you'll be needing a helicopter view of a week and other times you might want to dig into a specific day. This all can be served through a simple switching mechanism implemented with a segmented control right in the header of the calendar.

By dynamically changing the options you can set the level of detail you want to see. Eg. Show a daily timeline with hourly steps, show the work week with the same resolution or zoom out for a full week-view with 12 hour steps.

If the context requires users being able to change the timezone on the fly, you can add a custom dropdown with the desired timezones to the event calendar header. This can be of course placed externally to the calendar as well, eg. setting page.

Set the timezone of the incoming data through the dataTimezone - eg. 'utc', and set the display timezone through the displayTimezone - eg. 'America/Los_Angeles'

Inline search can be easily implemented with the help of a separate agenda instance. This example is relying on a single API endpoint for getting the data onto the primary timeline view and also for getting the filtered data based on the search terms.

Events can be filtered in real time so using an agenda view for the search results is an easy choice. It provides all the necessary styling and advanced features that you might need to customize the experience.

Alternatively, search can be implemented in the header using a similar search box with an agenda listed in a popup instead of rendered inline.

Timeline events can be customized with the help of the renderScheduleEvent option. How the events look are fully up to you. Base event fields along with custom fields can be accessed when writing the rendering function.

Use the renderSlot option for rendering a custom time slot header. Customize how the time slots look and what they show. Utilize properties passed in the slots array.

The empty space above the resource list can be customized through the renderResourceHeader function. This a perfect place for filtering or headers in case of a resource grid and everything that helps the users in the context of the timeline.

There are several approaches to showing a tooltip when hovering events.

By default, the calendar shows the browser native tooltip when hovering over the event. This includes the times and title of the event, which does the job most of the times. For showing a custom text use the tooltip property of the data object. This tooltip is specific to every event. If you want to hide the native tooltip, you can set the showEventTooltip to false.

Setting the showEventTooltip to false gives room for a fully custom tooltip that can be implemented by using the onEventHoverIn and onEventHoverOut lifecycle events. With the help of the Mobiscroll popup you can show a custom tooltip that holds details, actions applicable to the event it is anchored to.

There are certain cases when moving the events between calendars can come in handy.

Dragging and dropping events between two timeline instances can be enabled by turning on the externalDrag and externalDrop options.

The resources rendered vertically can be as simple as plain text or can be rendered based on a custom template as a grid. This example utilizes the properties of the resource objects which are conference rooms with capacities. Besides setting a template for the resources though the renderResource an additional side bar is rendered on the opposite end of the row through the renderSidebar.

Both the resource and side bar columns have headers and footers that can be customized through the renderResourceHeader, renderResourceFooter, renderSidebarHeader, renderSidebarFooter functions.

The occupancy percentages that can be seen for each day are set through the renderDayFooter in a similar way to the day header templates.

Resources can be placed into collapsible groups that can be collapsed or expanded on load through the collapsed property of the resource object. Parents hava a slightly different styling compared to child elements that spans across the entire timeline. While the height of the rows are the same for all resources, these can be customized with CSS, the same way as seen in this example.

The hierarchy can be of multiple levels. Event creation, drag & drop is enabled for parent and child resources alike, that can be turned off through the eventCreation property of the resource object.

What is a timeline without any events in it? To populate it with events all you have to do is pass the event array to the data option.

In a real-world scenario you would probably load the events from a remote resource or event better, load them on demand. However the point of this example is to understand how easy it is to add events to the timeline.

The timeline can be populated by passing an array to the data option, that you can construct either inline or by getting it from a remote API. The important thing to remember is that events need to be in a format that the timeline understands.

The timeline supports remote and local data sources. Besides that, events can be populated on initialization or loaded on demand.

Getting the events in real time as the user navigates improves load performance and always serves the most recent data.

Use the onPageLoading lifecycle event to load the data runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

The resources can be populated on initialization or in case of a bigger hierarchy, the more efficient way is to load the child resources and their events on demand.

Getting the resources and the events in real time as the user navigates improves load performance.

Use the onResourceExpand lifecycle event to load the data runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

The event calendar comes with third party calendar integration support through the integration plugin. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

It includes everything you need to authenticate your users, get their Google calendars and provides functions for CRUD operations. It takes care of loading the events and converts them to the required format so that they can be displayed on the Mobiscroll calendar separately or mixed with other calendars and events.

Customizing the interaction, event workflows, whether the events are read-only is up to you. In this live demo, the different calendars are handled as resources and have their own timeline rows. You can manipulate events in the desired calendars, while read-only calendars are greyed out.

Event data can be loaded from remote sources, like public google calendars. Through the integration plugin you can easily show events that are available in a public calendar. The integration plugin needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

You will just need the CALENDAR_ID and an apiKey from google and you should be ready to roll.

In this example you can see how multiple public holiday calendars are loaded as separate resources into the timeline.

Public calendars are read-only. If you are interested in syncing private google calendars with read/write/delete access, check out this example.

Drag to create and click to create is enabled. Events can be created by dragging or with double clicks. As soon as the initial position is confirmed, a temporary event is created and a custom edit dialog is shown for refinement. On cancel the temporary event will be removed and on confirmation the event will stay in the calendar.

Drag to resize and drag to move is enabled. Events can be reordered and resized. In addition to that, clicking on the event will open a custom dialog that enables editing the various properties.

Delete can be implemented inside the edit dialog with a button. It's just a matter of removing it from the data object. If a dialog is not shown on click, focused events can be deleted with the backspace and delete keys.

Sometimes we don't want users to be able to create events in the past or to alter past events. This might be role based in some cases or applied in general to the calendar.

To disable past event creation and manipulation, a couple of things need to be handled:

• Invalidate dates that are before today - this takes care of validating event drop and event creation on past dates
• Mark past events as fixed - to do this, set the editable property of the event object to false for the events that should remain fixed
• Handle past occurrences of recurring events - recurring events are loaded as a single event and the occurrences are generated by the timeline. Moving the past occurrences need to be handled in the onEventUpdate and onEventCreate lifecycle events
• Give feedback to the user - optionally, a toast can be displayed to give feedback to the user why an event cannot be dropped, moved and created in the past. For this we can use the onEventCreateFailed and onEventUpdateFailed lifecycle events

Multiple event selection can be turned on with the selectMultipleEvents option. Selecting multiple events can be done through user interaction with CTRL/SHIFT/CMD + click or programmatically eg. click of a button or 'select all' checkbox.

Bulk operations like delete, update can be applied the selected events. Things like deleting with the backspace or delete buttons work out of the box but custom actions can be also applied. The selection can be easily retrieved and updated with the getSelectedEvents and setSelectedEvents method.

Custom actions can be performed with external buttons or with context menu activated on right-click.

The components are fully localized. In case of the timeline this covers date and time format, button copy, rtl and more. You can see how each example shows up by clicking on the small flag icon or checking the examples below.
