Block scheduler by default and assign when somebody is available

[Klaas]

Hi,

I'm working on a project where a person should assign when he/she is available for appointments. What I can find is that cells can be blocked, but I want it the other way around. So that the scheduler is blocked by default and you can assign when somebody is available.

Thanks for your help.

Hi klaas,

Greetings from Syncfusion Support.

You can try readonly property of scheduler by setting false it will block user to perform CRUD actions. When user is avail, you can set dynamically readonly as true so that they can work on scheduler by performing CRUD actions in it. Please refer to the following demo sample in which readonly is set to true.

Kindly try the above solution and let us know if this helps to meet your requirement.

Hi Nevitha,

Thanks for your suggestion. It's not exactly what I need. But I think I've found a solution. When I create my dataset (remote), I've the following process (in my simplified example I use 1 day, say June 1st, 2021):

• In a form the user can add his/her availability like:
  • 09:00 - 12:00
  • 14:00 - 16:00
• When I render the dataset for the user, I loop through the availability for this user and create blocked appointments   like this:
  • StartTime: 2021-06-01 00:00, EndTime: <start time of the first available slot the user added>
    
  • StartTime: <end time of the first available slot the user added>, EndTime: <start time of the next available slot the user added>
  • etc.
• When the schedular is rendered, people can only plan for this resource in the available slots.
  

Best regards,
