    Grouping
    In This Topic

    You can easily group appointments by using GroupBy property of the C1Scheduler class, which determines the type of grouping to display. The Scheduler control supports grouping by contacts, categories, resources, and by the Appointment.Owner property value.

    String

    Grouping

    Empty string

    No grouping.

    Category

    Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Categories property value.

    Contact

    Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Links property value.

    Owner

    Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Owner property value.

    Resource

    Grouping is determined by the Appointment.Resources property value.

    The following GIF showcases different types of grouping that can be done in Scheduler:

    The following code snippets showcase how you can group appointments by the contacts, categories and resources. In this example, we have added a toolbar with a combo box to group appointments, navigation buttons to navigate between the groups, numeric box to allow you to display the desired number of group pages, and radio buttons to allow you to change the type of views according to your requirements.
