In a resource scheduler (extender) I want to delete an existing appointment, see image below (red box).

When I use the standard functionality (DEL) the selected resource is deleted, but not the appointment. Does anyone know how to delete an appointment in the extender (resource scheduler)?

Hey Robert,

 

Unfortunately there is no default setting for this. The only way to accomplish this is by writing a custom scheduler in C# and implement the pressed delete key.

 

It would be a nice wish to link an SF task to the pressed delete key in the same way ‘double click’ and ‘drag’ are linked to an SF task. Would this be a suitable solution for you?

Kind Regards,

Hello Roel,

 

What a pity that there is no standard functionality in the extender to be able to delete an appointment.

 

The possibility to add a new appointment is available through double click on a time cell. An appointment can be changed by means of double click / resize / drop an appointment. Unfortunately there is no possibility to delete this appointment!

 

It would indeed be a nice wish to be able to link a task 'delete appointment' to this functionality. Maybe it's an idea to drag and drop the specific appointment to a recycle bin (icon).

 

Kind regards,

Hi Robert,

Deleting an appointment could be achieved if for instance a checkbox named 'Delete appointment’ would be added to the Double click task.Then in code you can say something like 'If delete_checkbox = 1 then delete row’. That way you could modify or delete the appointment in the same task.

Maybe this could be a workaround till the time a Delete task is available.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

 

Indeed, this is temporarily the best workaround until a 'Delete appointment' task is available.

 

Thanks for your idea,

Not everyone should have permissions to perform the delete action, an additional reason to build it as a separate task. For now we can use the workaround and authorizing the checkbox in a separate IAM role.
