27 Apr 202424 minutes to read

The header part of Scheduler can be customized easily with the built-in options available.

Show or Hide header bar

By default, the header bar holds the date and view navigation options, through which the user can switch between the dates and various views. This header bar can be hidden from the UI by setting false to the showHeaderBar property. It’s default value is true.

app.component.ts
main.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ScheduleModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'
import { TimePickerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars'
import { DayService, WeekService, WorkWeekService, MonthService, AgendaService, MonthAgendaService, EventSettingsModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
        
        ScheduleModule,
        TimePickerModule
    ],

providers: [DayService, 
                WeekService, 
                WorkWeekService, 
                MonthService,
                AgendaService,
                MonthAgendaService],
standalone: true,

    template: `<ejs-schedule width='100%' height='550px' [selectedDate]='selectedDate' [views]='views'[eventSettings]='eventSettings' [showHeaderBar]='showHeaderBar'>
    </ejs-schedule>`
})


export class AppComponent {
    public selectedDate: Date = new Date(2018, 1, 15);
    public views: Array<string> = ['Day', 'Week', 'WorkWeek'];
    public eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = {

Hide Header Bar

Customizing header bar

Apart from the default date navigation and view options available on the header bar, you can add custom items into the Scheduler header bar by making use of the actionBegin event. Here, an employee image is added to the header bar, clicking on which will open the popup showing that person’s short profile information.

By default, the header bar holds the view navigation options, through which the user can switch between various views. You can move this view options to the header bar popup by setting true to the enableAdaptiveUI property.

Date header customization

The Scheduler UI that displays the date text on all views are considered as the date header cells. You can customize the date header cells of Scheduler either using dateHeaderTemplate or renderCell event.

Using date header template

The dateHeaderTemplate option is used to customize the date header cells of day, week and work-week views.

Date Header Customization

Using renderCell event

In month view, the date header template is not applicable and therefore the same customization can be added beside the date text in month cells by making use of the renderCell event.

Customizing the date range text

The dateRangeTemplate option allows you to customize the text content of the date range displayed in the scheduler. By default, the date range text is determined by the scheduler view being used. However, you can use the dateRangeTemplate option to override the default text and specify your own custom text to be displayed.

The dateRangeTemplate property includes startDate, endDate and currentView options, you can customize the date range text using these available options.

Customizing header indent cells

It is possible to customize the header indent cells using the headerIndentTemplate option and change the look and appearance in both the vertical and timeline views. In vertical views, You can customize the header indent cells at the hierarchy level and you can customize the resource header left indent cell in timeline views using the template option.

Example: To customize the header left indent cell to display resources text, refer to the below code example.
