Check for cell availability

You can check whether the given time range slots are available for event creation or already occupied by other events using the isSlotAvailable method. In the following code example, if a specific time slot already contains an appointment, then no more appointments can be added to that cell.

You can customize cells such as work cells, month cells, all-day cells, header cells, resource header cells using renderCell event by checking the elementType option within the event. You can check elementType with any of the following.

Element type	Description
dateHeader	triggers on header cell rendering.
monthDay	triggers on header cell in month view rendering.
resourceHeader	triggers on resource header cell rendering.
alldayCells	triggers on all day cell rendering.
emptyCells	triggers on empty cell rendering on header bar.
resourceGroupCells	triggers on rendering of work cells for parent resource.
workCells	triggers on work cell rendering.
monthCells	triggers on month cell rendering.
majorSlot	triggers on major time slot cell rendering.
minorSlot	triggers on minor time slot cell rendering.
weekNumberCell	triggers on cell displaying week number.

Customizing cell header in month view

The month header of each date cell in the month view can be customized using the cellHeaderTemplate option which accepts the string or HTMLElement. The corresponding date can be accessed with the template.

Customizing the minimum and maximum date values

Providing the minDate and maxDate property with some date values, allows the Scheduler to set the minimum and maximum date range. The Scheduler date that lies beyond this minimum and maximum date range will be in a disabled state so that the date navigation will be blocked beyond the specified date range.
