Edit Form Customization

The Bootstrap Scheduler provides a ViewModel-driven customization API. This allows to remove, replace, or modify existing form parts or add a new UI parts to the edit forms without re-creating the entire form from scratch.

It provides API methods like: GenerateDefaultLayoutElements, InsertBefore, InsertAfter, FindLayoutElement, and more that allow you to modify the existing layout with ease.

For example:

// generates default layout elements to work with
dialog.GenerateDefaultLayoutElements();
var resourceContainerGroup = dialog.LayoutElements.CreateGroup("resourceContainer", (g) => {
   g.LayoutElements.CreateGroup("resourceGroup", (resourceGroup) => { resourceGroup.LayoutElements.Add(dialog.FindLayoutElement("ResourceIds"));
   // moves existing ResourceIds to the created group
   });
   g.LayoutElements.CreateGroup("resourceDetailGroup", (detailGroup) => {
      detailGroup.LayoutElements.CreateField(m => m.Phone);
      detailGroup.LayoutElements.CreateField(m => m.Photo);
   });
});
dialog.InsertAfter(resourceContainerGroup, dialog.FindLayoutElement("StatusKey"));// inserts group before existing layout element

Demo

Reminders

Scheduler provides a capability to create reminders. Reminders are used to send alerts at specified time periods before an appointment's start time.

Standalone controls
