Could use some advice on multi-user group calendar

[Scott_Chapman]

I’m working on a vacation planner for my team. Each user will have an account, and all events will be owned by a user.

My question is about how I can visually make this work. I would want each user’s events to be evident (coloring?) and would also like the ability to filter for the user’s own events.

1. For colors, I figure I can the event_class to generate the class based on the user, then use CSS to map to colors. But wondering if something else might make more sense.
2. For filtering, I see how to do event filtering with the filter_<view> but I would want to do the filtering more globally and based on a UI control somewhere on the calendar; like a “Only Mine” checkbox or something.

Thoughts?

Hi,

For colors, I figure I can the event_class to generate the class based on the user, then use CSS to map to colors. But wondering if something else might make more sense.

You also can set the color into the event object like in this example
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/samples/02_customization/25_color_property.html
{ start_date: "2018-04-24 09:00", end_date: "2018-04-24 17:00", text:"Usual event", color:"#0288D1", textColor:"white"}
More details in the guide:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/custom_events_color.html#specifyingcolorsinpropertiesoftheeventobject

For filtering, I see how to do event filtering with the filter_<view> but I would want to do the filtering more globally and based on a UI control somewhere on the calendar; like a “Only Mine” checkbox or something.

Have you seen the sample with checkboxes? https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/samples/09_api/09_filtering_events.html
You need a similar solution: create checkbox “only mine”, call the filter function and “return true” for tasks with the required user.
