Agenda View

If you use dhtmlxScheduler 6.0 or earlier, see details here.

The Agenda view allows displaying a list of upcoming events.

Agenda view

note

By default, the left list of the view displays events beginning from the first day of the current month. To change such behavior, use the agenda_start, agenda_end properties or redefine scheduler.date.agenda_start and scheduler.date.agenda_end functions.

Initialization

To add the Agenda view to the scheduler, follow these steps:

  1. Activate the Agenda extension on the page:
scheduler.plugins({
agenda_view: true
});
  1. Add the view's tab to the scheduler's markup:
<div id="scheduler_here" class="dhx_cal_container" ...>
<div class="dhx_cal_navline">
...
<div class="dhx_cal_tab" data-tab="agenda"></div>
</div>
...
</div>
  1. Set the label for the tab:
//'agenda_tab' is the name of our div. By default, the label is 'Agenda' 
scheduler.locale.labels.agenda_tab="My Agenda";

GUI details

  • To create a new event, double click an empty cell in the list.
  • To edit/delete an event - double click the event row to open the lightbox and perform the needed operation.

Localization Tips

The Agenda view has 2 labels defined in the locale:

  • scheduler.locale.labels.agenda_tab - the name of the view tab
  • scheduler.locale.labels.full_day - the "Full day" label for full-day or multi-day events

The first label is commonly specified while adding the view tab to the scheduler, but the second one should be redefined only if you localize the application to a language, different from English.

Next/Previous/Today buttons

By default the Agenda view displays events of one month, while the Next/Previous and Today buttons allow switching between months. You can change the displayed range by redefining the scheduler.date.agenda_start()/scheduler.date.add_agenda() functions.

scheduler.date.agenda_start(date) returns the start of the displayed interval of the view for a given date. The default implementation of the agenda view returns the first day of a given month.

You can redefine these functions, for example, to change the range for a single week:

scheduler.date.agenda_start = function(date){
return scheduler.date.week_start(new Date(date));
};

scheduler.date.add_agenda = function(date, inc){
return scheduler.date.add(date, inc, "week");
};

After that the displayed range will be limited to one week.

Setting the range of displayable dates

You can also set a fixed displayed range by specifying the agenda_end and agenda_start properties:

scheduler.config.agenda_start = new Date(2023, 5, 1); 
scheduler.config.agenda_end = new Date(2023,6,1);
