Selecting Resources from Multiple groups in the Standard Editor

[Tim Hartog]

Hi,

I ran into the situation that where we want to select people from different groups for an appointment but this does not work right.

Setup:

Angular:  9.1

Syncfusion Schedule package: 18.1.56

Schedule setup: Resources are grouped and are shown in their groups.

<e-resources>
  <e-resource
    field="resourceId"
    title="Resource Name"
    name="Resources"
    textField="Name"
    idField="Id"
    [allowMultiple]='allowMultiple'
    [dataSource]="resourceDataSource">
  </e-resource>

  <!--          Because we use multiple groups we have to assign it in a separate resource tag-->
  <e-resource
    field ="groupId"
    title = "Group Name"
    name = "Departments"
    [dataSource] = "groupDataSource"

    textField="Name"
    idField="Id"
    groupIDField="GroupID">
  </e-resource>
</e-resources>

The standard editor is used.

When we select a Group we see the resources belonging to this group. We can select the right resources (persons).

When we also want to select resources from another group in he editor the previous selected names are changing as soon as we select another group.

I searched in the forum an the docs if there was a familiair case or property I was missing but could not find this.

Hopefully there is a simple solution for this.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your reported query “Selecting resources from multiple groups in the standard editor” and you can select multiple resources by enabling allowMultiple property of the resource. Refer the below code for that. 

<e-resources> 

                <e-resource field='ProjectId' title='Choose Project' [dataSource]='projectDataSource' [allowMultiple]='allowMultiple' name='Projects' 

                    textField='text' idField='id' colorField='color'> 

                </e-resource> 

                <e-resource field='TaskId' title='Category' [dataSource]='categoryDataSource' [allowMultiple]='allowMultiple' name='Categories' 

                    textField='text' idField='id' groupIDField='groupId' colorField='color'> 

                </e-resource> 

            </e-resources>

Hello Alagumeena,

I was indeed missing the allowmultiple property in the second e-resource block.

Thank you for your help.
