Scheduler: Bounded Plan Frame and show planner date

Related products: Universal GUI

The current scheduler always start on the current time. This is unwanted. I want to be able to programmatically set the start date. There are a few ideas around this concept:

  • Overrule start-view with custom date. 
  • Bound the plan-scale with start / end-date  (for example when you plan an event)
  • Hide non functional days/hours (holidays, weekends or other defined dates.. and hours that cannot be planned…  )

Hi Freddy,

@Freddy Can you clarify the case you are working on a little bit more?

Do you prefer a static custom date or a dynamic point in time?

Best regards.

Hi @Erik Brink, 

We are building an event planning system, which has one part that heavily relies on the scheduler. Basically you organize an even from date/time X to date/time Y (usually spanning 2 to 3 days. 

So we have plan-frame of 2,5 days and physical/virtual locations where activities/presentations/etc occur. The idea is to plan the locations using the scheduler. Basically the presentations and activities are known with time-spans of 30m tot 1hr. 

The most pressing issues at the moment in order of importance:

  • Events are never planned last minute, so it would really help if the scheduler would have the option to open at the first/last known activity. 
  • In this project we have the plan-frame (the event start/end), which basically sets the boundary of the planners use, this could also be used. But in all cases it's dynamic because there is no way to know when an event will occur or be planned.
  • Another point is that you cannot scroll infinite, you are bounded by the time-scales from the model and you can only use the left/recht arrow above the planner. Which is doable, if the arrow position would not change due to date translations. 
  • The last point here is that if you plan 30m/1hr events you have to work your way around a lot of non-functional time-space.. in our case between 22:00 at night and 08:00 in the morning.. Because here the scheduler starts at midnight and therefor opens blank, as you manually have to scroll to the first 'functional' time. 

Does this give sufficient additional information?

Kind regards, Freddy
