Appointments in Blazor Scheduler Component

17 Nov 202324 minutes to read

Appointments can be anything that are scheduled for a specific time period. It can be created on varied time range and each appointments are categorized based on this range.

To get start quickly about appointments and how to customize it, you can check on this video:

Event fields

The Scheduler dataSource usually holds the event instances, where each of the instance includes a collection of appropriate fields. It is mandatory to map these fields with the equivalent fields of database, when remote data is bound to it. When the local data is bound, then the field names defined within the instances needs to be mapped with the scheduler event fields correctly.

NOTE

To create an event on Scheduler, it is enough to define the StartTime and EndTime fields. In case, if remote data is bound to Scheduler, then Id field becomes mandatory to process the CRUD actions on appropriate events.

Built-in fields

The built-in fields available on Scheduler event object are as follows.

Field name	Description
Id	The Id field needs to be defined as mandatory, and usually assigns a unique ID value to each of the events.
Subject	The Subject field is optional, and usually assigns the summary text to each of the events.
StartTime	The StartTime field defines the start time of an event and it is mandatory to provide it for any of the valid event objects.
EndTime	The EndTime field defines the end time of an event and it is mandatory to provide the end time for any of the valid event objects.
StartTimezone	It maps the StartTimezone field from the dataSource and usually accepts the valid IANA timezone names. It is assumed that the value provided for this field is taken into consideration while processing the StartTime field. When this field is not mapped with any timezone names, then the events will be processed based on the timezone assigned to the Scheduler.
EndTimezone	It maps the EndTimezone field from the dataSource and usually accepts the valid IANA timezone names. It is assumed that the value provided for this field is taken into consideration while processing the EndTime field. When this field is not mapped with any timezone names, then the events will be processed based on the timezone assigned to the Scheduler.
Location	It maps the Location field from the dataSource and the location text value will be displayed over the events.
Description	It maps the Description field from the dataSource and denotes the event description which is optional.
IsAllDay	The IsAllDay field is mapped from the dataSource and is used to denote whether an event is created for an entire day or for specific time alone. Usually, an event with IsAllDay field set to true will be considered as an all-day event.
RecurrenceID	It maps the RecurrenceID field from dataSource and usually holds the ID value of the parent recurrence event. This field is applicable only for the edited occurrence events.
RecurrenceRule	It maps the RecurrenceRule field from dataSource and holds the recurrence rule value in a string format. Also, it uniquely identifies whether the event belongs to a recurring type or normal ones.
RecurrenceException	It maps the RecurrenceException field from dataSource and is used to hold the collection of exception dates in UTC format, on which the recurring occurrences needs to be excluded.
IsReadonly	It maps the IsReadonly field from dataSource. It is mainly used to make specific appointments as readonly when set to true.
IsBlock	It maps the IsBlock field from dataSource. It is used to block the particular time ranges in the Scheduler and prevents the event creation on those time slots.
CssClass	It maps the CssClass field from the dataSource. It is used to customize the particular events.

Binding different field names

When the fields of event instances has the default mapping name, it is not mandatory to map them manually. If a Scheduler’s dataSource holds the events collection with different field names, then it is necessary to map them with its equivalent field name within the EventSettings property.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource">
        <ScheduleField Id="TravelId">
            <FieldSubject Name="TravelSummary"></FieldSubject>
            <FieldLocation Name="Source"></FieldLocation>
            <FieldDescription Name="Comments"></FieldDescription>
            <FieldIsAllDay Name="FullDay"></FieldIsAllDay>
            <FieldStartTime Name="DepartureTime"></FieldStartTime>
            <FieldEndTime Name="ArrivalTime"></FieldEndTime>
            <FieldStartTimezone Name="Origin"></FieldStartTimezone>
            <FieldEndTimezone Name="Destination"></FieldEndTimezone>
        </ScheduleField>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { TravelId = 1, TravelSummary = "Paris", DepartureTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 10, 0, 0) , ArrivalTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 12, 30, 0),
        Source = "London", Comments = "Summer vacation planned for outstation.", Origin= "Asia/Yekaterinburg", Destination= "Asia/Yekaterinburg" }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int TravelId { get; set; }
        public string TravelSummary { get; set; }
        public DateTime DepartureTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime ArrivalTime { get; set; }
        public bool FullDay { get; set; }
        public string Source { get; set; }
        public string Comments { get; set; }
        public string Origin { get; set; }
        public string Destination { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

The mapper field Id is of string type and has no additional validation options, whereas all other fields has additional options.

Event field settings

Each field of the Scheduler events are provided with additional settings such as options to set default value, to map with appropriate data source fields, to validate every event fields and to provide label values for those fields in the event window.

Options	Description
Default	Accepts the default value to the applicable fields (Subject, Location and Description), when no values are provided to them from dataSource.
Name	Accepts the field name to be mapped from the dataSource fields.
Title	Accepts the label values to be displayed for the fields of event editor.
Validation	Defines the validation rules to be applied on the event fields within the event editor.

In following example, the Subject field in event editor will display its appropriate label as Summary. When no subject value is provided while saving an event, then the appointment will be saved with the default subject value as Add Summary.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="AppointmentData" DataSource="@DataSource">
        <ScheduleField Id="Id">
            <FieldSubject Name="Subject" Title="Summary" Default="Add Summary"></FieldSubject>
            <FieldLocation Name="Location"></FieldLocation>
            <FieldDescription Name="Description"></FieldDescription>

        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Adding Custom fields

Apart from the default Scheduler fields, the user can include ‘n’ number of custom fields for appointments. The following code example shows how to include two custom fields namely Status and Priority within event collection. It is not necessary to bind the custom fields within the EventSettings. However, those additional fields can be accessed easily, for internal processing as well as from application end.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource">
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0),
        Status = "Completed", Priority = "High"}
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
        public string Status { get; set; }
        public string Priority { get; set; }
    }
}

Normal events

Represents an appointment that is created for any specific time interval within a day.

Creating a normal event

The following example depicts how to define a normal event on the Scheduler, with event data being loaded from simple list of appointment collection.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
    }
}

Spanned events

Represents an appointment that is created for more than 24 hours, and usually displayed on the all-day row. Also, represents another type of appointment that is created for more than one day but less than 24 hours, and usually displayed appropriately on both the days.

NOTE

For example, in week view if an appointment is created for two days say from November 25, 2020 – 11.00 PM to November 26, 2020 - 2.00 AM but less than 24 hours time interval, then the appointment split into two partitions and will be displayed on both the days.

All-day events

It represents an appointment that is created for an entire day such as holiday events. It is usually displayed separately in an all-day row, a separate row for all-day appointments below the date header section. In Timeline views, the all-day appointments displays in the working space area, and no separate all-day row is present in that view.

NOTE

To change normal appointment into all-day event, set IsAllDay field to true.

Hide all-day row events

The CSS customization can be used to prevent the display of all-day row appointments on the Scheduler UI.

.e-schedule .e-date-header-wrap .e-schedule-table thead {
    display: none;
}

Block Date and Time

It is possible to block a set of dates or a particular time ranges on the Scheduler. To do so, define an appointment object within EventSettings along with the required time range to block and set the IsBlock field to true. Usually, the event objects defined with IsBlock field set to true will block the entire time cells lying within the appropriate time ranges specified through StartTime and EndTime fields.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0),
        IsBlock = true }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public bool IsBlock { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Block events can also be defined to repeat on several days as shown in the following code example.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0),
        IsBlock = true, RecurrenceRule = "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=5" }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public bool IsBlock { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Readonly

An interaction with the appointments of Scheduler can be enabled/disabled using the Readonly property. With this property enabled, you can simply navigate between the Scheduler dates, views and can be able to view the appointment details in the quick info window. Most importantly, the users are not allowed to perform any CRUD actions on Scheduler, when this property is set to true. By default, it is set as false.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" Readonly="true" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 11, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Make specific events readonly

There are scenarios where you need to restrict the CRUD action on specific appointments alone based on certain conditions. In the following example, the events that has occurred on the past hours from the current date of the Scheduler are made as read-only and the CRUD actions has been prevented only on those appointments. This can be achieved by setting IsReadonly field of read-only events to true.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="DataSource"> </ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Paris", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 28, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 28, 12, 0, 0),
        IsReadonly = true },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Germany", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 31, 12, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public bool IsReadonly { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

By default, the event editor is prevented to open on the read-only events when IsReadonly field is set to true.

Customize the order of the overlapping events

By default, the scheduler will render the overlapping events based on the start and end time. Now, the order of the overlapping events can be customized based on the custom fields by using the SortBy property grouped under the EventSettings property. The following code example shows how to sort the appointments based on the custom field RankId as follows.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentSortData" Width="100%" EnableAutoRowHeight="true" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate" @bind-CurrentView="@SelectedView">
    <ScheduleEventSettings SortBy="RankId" DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineDay"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineWorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineMonth"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2023, 2, 14);
    View SelectedView = View.Week;
    DataSource = new List<AppointmentSortData>
    {
        new AppointmentSortData { Id = 1, Subject = "Rank A", RankId="A", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 12, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentSortData { Id = 2, Subject = "Rank B", RankId="B", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 7, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 15, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentSortData { Id = 3, Subject = "Rank C", RankId="C", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 9, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 10, 30, 0) },
        new AppointmentSortData { Id = 4, Subject = "Rank D", RankId="D", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 2, 13, 14, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentSortData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
        public string RankId { get; set; }
    }
}

Restricting event creation on specific time slots

You can restrict the users to create and update more than one appointment on specific time slots. Also, you can disable the CRUD action on those time slots if it is already occupied, which can be achieved using Scheduler’s public method IsSlotAvailableAsync.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
<SfSchedule @ref="ScheduleObj" TValue="AppointmentData" Height="600px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEvents TValue="AppointmentData" OnActionBegin="OnActionBegin"></ScheduleEvents>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>
@code{
    private DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2022, 1, 9);
    SfSchedule<AppointmentData> ScheduleObj;
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2022, 1, 9, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2022, 1, 9, 11, 0, 0),
        RecurrenceRule = "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=5" }
    };
    public async Task OnActionBegin(ActionEventArgs<AppointmentData> args)
    {
        bool availability = true;
        if (args.ActionType == ActionType.EventCreate || args.ActionType == ActionType.EventChange)  
        {
            var records = args.AddedRecords ?? args.ChangedRecords;
            if(records == null)
            {
                return;
            }
            availability = await ScheduleObj.IsSlotAvailableAsync(records.First());
        }
        args.Cancel = !availability;
    }
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Differentiate the past time events

To differentiate the appearance of the appointments based on specific criteria such as displaying the past hour appointments with different colors on Scheduler, EventRendered event can be used which triggers before the appointment renders on the Scheduler.

In the following code example, the appointments beyond current date of the scheduler were differentiated with chocolate brown color.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Width="100%" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@SelectedDate">
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
    <ScheduleEvents TValue="AppointmentData" EventRendered="OnEventRendered"></ScheduleEvents>
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    public DateTime SelectedDate = new DateTime(2023,1,10);
    public List<string> CustomClass = new List<string>() { "e-past-app" };
    public void OnEventRendered(EventRenderedArgs<AppointmentData> args)
    {
        if(args.Data.StartTime < SelectedDate)
        {
            args.CssClasses = CustomClass;
        }
    }
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 10, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 10, 11, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Conference", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 9, 11, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 9, 13, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
    }
}
<style>
    .e-schedule .e-vertical-view .e-day-wrapper .e-appointment.e-past-app, .e-schedule .e-month-view .e-appointment.e-past-app {
        background-color: chocolate;
    }
</style>

Appointments occupying entire cell

The Scheduler allows the event to occupy the full height of the cell without its header part by setting true for EnableMaxHeight Property.

More indicator can be shown if more than one appointment is available in a same cell by setting true to EnableIndicator property whereas its default value is false.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Width="100%" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2023, 3, 11))" CurrentView="View.Month">
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.TimelineMonth"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource" EnableMaxHeight="true" EnableIndicator="true"></ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 3, 11, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 3, 11, 11, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Conference", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 3, 11, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 3, 11, 11, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

The EnableIndicator property will work, only when the EnableMaxHeight property value is set to true.

Display tooltip for appointments

The tooltip shows the Scheduler appointment’s information in a formatted style by making use of the tooltip related options.

Show or hide built-in tooltip

The tooltip can be displayed for appointments by setting true to the EnableTooltip option within the ScheduleEventSettings tag helper.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource" EnableTooltip="true"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 10);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Paris", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 8, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 8, 12, 0, 0),
        IsReadonly = true },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Germany", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 10, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 10, 12, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public bool IsReadonly { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Customizing event tooltip using template

After enabling the default tooltip, it is possible to customize the display of needed event information on tooltip by making use of the TooltipTemplate option within the ScheduleEventSettings.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource" EnableTooltip="true">
        <TooltipTemplate>
            <div class="tooltip-wrap">
                <div>@((context as AppointmentData).Subject)</div>
                <div>From&nbsp;:&nbsp;@((context as AppointmentData).StartTime)</div>
                <div>To&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;@((context as AppointmentData).EndTime) </div>
            </div>
        </TooltipTemplate>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 13);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Paris", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 11, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 11, 12, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Germany", StartTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 14, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2023, 1, 14, 12, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

All the field names that are mapped from the Scheduler dataSource to the appropriate field properties such as subject, description, location, startTime and endTime within the ScheduleEventSettings can be accessed within the template.

Appointment selection

Appointment selection can be done either through mouse or keyboard actions. The selected events in UI will have a box shadow effect around to differentiate it from other appointments.

Action	Description
Mouse click or Single tap on appointments	Selects single appointment.
Ctrl + [Mouse click] or [Single tap] on appointments	Selects multiple appointments.

Deleting multiple appointments

With the options available to select multiple appointments, it is also possible to delete the multiple selected appointments simply by pressing the delete key. In case of deleting multiple selected occurrences of an event series, only those occurrences will be deleted and not the entire series.

Retrieve event details from the UI of an event

It is possible to access the information about the event fields of an appointment based on the X and Y co-ordinates. This can be achieved by passing an X and Y co-ordinates to the public method GetTargetEventAsync. You can also get the selected appointment details using GetSelectedEventsAsync method.

Get the current view appointments

To retrieve the appointments present in the current view of the Scheduler, the GetCurrentViewEvents public method can be used. In the following example, current view appointment collection rendered has been traced in DataBound event.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" @ref="ScheduleRef" Width="100%" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEvents TValue="AppointmentData" DataBound="OnDataBound"></ScheduleEvents>
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10);
    SfSchedule<AppointmentData> ScheduleRef;
    public void OnDataBound(DataBoundEventArgs<AppointmentData> args)
    {
        List<AppointmentData> eventCollection = ScheduleRef.GetCurrentViewEvents();
        //You can get the current view appointment collections in the EventCollection variable
    }
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 11, 30, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Conference", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 9, 11, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 9, 13, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

Get the entire appointment collections

The entire collection of appointments rendered on the Scheduler can be accessed using the GetEventsAsync public method. In the following example, entire appointment collection rendered on the Scheduler has been traced in DataBound event.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" @ref="ScheduleRef" Width="100%" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2020,1,10))">
    <ScheduleEvents TValue="AppointmentData" DataBound="OnDataBound"></ScheduleEvents>
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    SfSchedule<AppointmentData> ScheduleRef;
    public async void OnDataBound(DataBoundEventArgs<AppointmentData> args)
    {
        List<AppointmentData> EventCollection = await ScheduleRef.GetEventsAsync();
        //You can get the entire appointment collections in the EventCollection variable
    }
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10, 11, 30, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Conference", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 9, 11, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 9, 13, 0, 0) }
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

You can also get the specific range of appointments by passing the start and end time in the GetEventsAsync method. To get the block events, you can make use of the method GetBlockEventsAsync.

Appointment filtering

The appointments can be filtered by passing the predicate value to Query option in ScheduleEventSettings. The following code example shows how to filter and render the selected appointments alone in the Scheduler.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

If the requirement is to simply refresh the appointments instead of refreshing the entire Scheduler elements from the application end, make use of the RefreshEventsAsync public method.

ScheduleRef.RefreshEventsAsync();
