Key Features

The following are some of the main features of Scheduler for LightSwitch that you may find useful:

Complete Outlook-style Scheduling
Schedule one-time, all day, or recurring appointments with reminders, labels, and availability status just as in Microsoft Outlook. Stay organized with categories, resources, and contacts linked to each appointment.
Five Built-in Default Views
The C1Scheduler control includes five built-in default views, allowing you to offer a variety of ways for users to view their schedules. View the schedule by day, week, work week, month, or time line. You can also create your own custom views. See Changing the View for more information.
Reminders
Scheduler can display reminder dialogs at specified times before an appointment occurs. Users have the option to dismiss one or more appointments, open the appointment, or reset the reminder to appear again later (snooze). See the Reminders topic for more information.
Resource Grouping
Group appointments by contacts, resources or categories to create a multi-column layout where each column corresponds to a different item. Navigate through any number of grouped items with ease. Simply drag an appointment to reassign it to a different resource, category or contact. Grouping is supported in all scheduler views. See the Grouping topic to learn more about this great feature.
Time Line View
Give your users a Time Line view for displaying appointments in a horizontal layout. This view is useful when trying to see multiple groups at once to schedule a meeting. In this view the time is displayed horizontally and groups are arranged vertically, much like the 'Schedule' view in Microsoft Outlook 2010. See Changing the View for an example of the Time Line view.
Pre-built Ribbon Toolbars
Choose from Data (Print, Import, Export), View (Day, Work Week, Week, Month, Time Line), and Group button groups to add to your application. They are already built and wired to the calendar. All you have to do is select a check box. See Changing the C1Scheduler Appearance for an overview of these button groups.
Use Multiple Data Sources
In addition to selecting primary data source for the screen (appointment information), Scheduler for LightSwitch provides placeholders to connect to data sources for categories, contacts, and resources. These tables don’t even need to be related. Scheduler for LightSwitch handles associations for you. See Binding C1Scheduler to a Data Source for more information.
Import and Export Data
Save or load data in supported formats: XML or iCalendar. See Printing, Importing, and Exporting for more information.
