Is it possible to make scheduler control use non-time scale?

Hi,

We consider to use this control in production planning. Here is a scenario we consider this control for. Each day factory can produce 100 pieces of something. Planner has a list of jobs, each job is for certain quantity. Planner would drag and drop a job onto the scheduler control on specific day. Job is for 50 pieces. So I would expect a task appearing in scheduler control for that specific day occupying half of the available space.

I could mimic this still having time scale, but it would me much more intuitive for the user if he saw pieces instead.

Is it possible to customize (without changing the library) to make scheduler control to display some other units, not necessarily time?

Hi,
it’s quite easy to hide a time scale if you’re talking about day/week views
docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/snippet/24e91ad5

When you add events into the day column, you can assign an appropriate start/end dates in order to occupy the required spot (since programmatically vertical position of a task will still be defined by the time value).
Alternatively, you can redefine a function that renders the event box, so it would look exactly as you need it

So probably such configuration is doable, but it’s hard to give more information without a full description of a required functionality.

Thanks for reply! This is exactly what I was puzzled about.
