Can an Event option be used to adjust Business hours for a Scheduler resource?

Hi Tony,

I'm happy to hear that DayPilot helps.

Unfortunately the business hours are specified on the resource (row) level. At this moment, there is no way to set different business hours for different events (I assume you wanted to use it in combination with eventMoveSkipNonBusiness - https://api.daypilot.org/daypilot-scheduler-eventmoveskipnonbusiness/).

The workaround could be to display each event on a special row but might make sense only in some cases.

Thank you for the reply.

To be honest, my question sprung from the mistaken idea that I could add an event with a start date and then a number of hours of work time. (For instance, I was thinking I could start an event on October 2, 2018 and know that it was scheduled for 400 work hours. DayPilot would then fill in the required amount of days based on the Business Hours... which would vary if this Event was to be worked on for night shift as well.

I don't know where I got that mistaken idea from. I'm assuming it was from when I was playing with eventMoveSkipNonBusiness in early testing.

Finally, sorry for the typo. DayPilot.

It's necessary to do this kind of calculation on the server side. The Scheduler accepts "start" and "end" dates for events and these dates are always respected.

It can help you to keep the existing (business) duration using eventMoveSkipNonBusiness when moving/resizing an event but the initial position needs to be set in advance.

Just note that this only applies to existing events that were created without the Scheduler. Everything you create using drag and drop will use the correct start/end.

It will also work if you have an unscheduled event (with just the duration specified) and you move it to the Scheduler from an external list (https://doc.daypilot.org/scheduler/external-drag-and-drop/).
