Some of the main features of Scheduler that you may find useful include the following:
- Select from Multiple Built-in Data Views
Scheduler includes five built-in data views, allowing you to offer a variety of ways for users to view their schedules. View the schedule in day, week, work week, month or time line. See Data Views for more information on changing the view.
- Create Custom Views and Styles
You can create and use custom schedule views and styles.
- Bind your Schedule to the Data Source of Your Choice
Scheduler gives you the option of using standard ADO.NET data binding or using a built-in data source. Using the Data Source settings, which work with the ScheduleStorage component, you can attach a data source and map to each column in the table to save and load appointments, categories, contacts, calendar owners, labels, resources, and the status of appointments.
- Create Outlook-style Appointments
Users can easily add new and edit existing appointments within a Scheduler control. Just as in Microsoft Outlook, appointments can occur one-time or recur over a set amount of time, and reminders can be set so no appointment is missed. Additionally, Scheduler provides twelve built-in labels and five availability options to help users manage each appointment, as well as the ability to create custom labels. Appointments can be organized within categories, and resources and contacts for each appointment can be specified.
- Import and Export Data
If you want to use a built-in data source, you can save or load data in any supported format (binary, XML or iCal) when it is appropriate for your application. You can do it using the C1ScheduleStorage.Export and C1ScheduleStorage.Import methods or using C1Scheduler routed commands, C1ScheduleStorage.Export and C1Scheduler.Import commands.
