DevExtreme Scheduler - Group Resources by Date (v18.2)

There are scheduling scenarios that require you to view available appointments for all resources within a specific date. For example, when scheduling a large employee meeting, it helps to see when everyone is available.

So, you can now customize the Scheduler layout and group resources by date. That means you can display appointments specified for different resources, grouped by day:

How To Enable

Set the groupByDate option to true as follows:

$("#scheduler").dxScheduler({ 
    // … 
   groupByDate: true, 
   views: [] 
});

The Scheduler can have several views and you can specify options globally or on a single view level. This groupByDate option can be specified for individual views by putting it into the view configuration.

The following sample shows how to group resources by date for a workWeek view:

$("#scheduler").dxScheduler({ 
    // … 
    views: [{ 
        name: "Work Week", 
        type: "workWeek", 
        groupByDate: true 
    }] 
});

Limitations and Plans

This feature is limited currently because it's not available for the vertical group orientation and for the 'agenda' view.

Depending on your feedback, we may implement this feature in a future major or minor release.
