How To Set Up Overnight Shift Scheduling with DayPilot Calendar
Last revision: Apr 18, 2013
DayPilot Calendar can be used for overnight shift scheduling.
Limiting the hours displayed in a column
The Calendar control is able to show up to 24 hours in a single
column. You can limit the actual range using DayBeginsHour and
DayEndsHour properties. This way you can show shifts that continue over midnight and end on the following day.
Properties:
Example:
DayBeginsHour="16"
DayEndsHour="8"
Setting the default view range
In addition to setting the first and last hour of day, it is possible to define the business hours range using BusinessBeginsHour and BusinessEndsHour.
- Business hours will be displayed using a different color (BackColor vs. NonBusinessBackColor properties)
- When used with HeightSpec="BusinessHours" the default display range will be driven by the business hours. It is still possible to use the scrollbar to see the other hours.
Properties:
- BusinessBeginsHour
- BusinessEndsHour
- HeightSpec
Example:
DayBeginsHour="16"
DayEndsHour="8"
BusinessBeginsHour="20"
BusinessEndsHour="5"
HeightSpec="BusinessHours"
