Easily Allocate Resources with the Resource View in WPF Scheduler

“Human resource isn’t a thing we do. It’s the thing that runs the business.”

- Steve Wynn

In strategic planning, resource allocation is a key factor for using available resources, especially in the near term, to achieve business goals. It is so important to get a clear picture of the amount of work that must be done. It also helps us to schedule ahead and have insight into a team’s progress, allowing us to allocate the right amount of time to everyone on the team.

By using the resource view in the Syncfusion WPF Scheduler control, you can easily manage and allocate resources in a calendar view by controlling the project tasks, time sheets, and employee availability.

Let’s get started!

Note: Since ResourceCollection is of IEnumerable type, we have maintained a local class SchedulerResourceCollection, which is derived from the ObservableCollection<Object> to add the resources in XAML code directly.

The Scheduler resource view provides support to specify whether the dates should be grouped under resources or resources should be grouped under dates in the day view (or week or workweek views) in by column.

Note: In the timeline view, resources are arranged in rows and dates are arranged in columns, thus grouping can’t be enabled directly in it.

Refer to the following code example.

Sometimes multiple resources are required to accomplish a task. You are free to assign as many resources as you wish to a task by assigning the Id of the respective resources in the ResourceIdCollection. Any edit to the shared event will be reflected in the associated individual resources.

The following code example illustrates the creation of a custom resource.

This is how you map a custom resource to the Scheduler control.

And this is how you add custom resources to the Scheduler control.

While managing an employee’s workload, sometimes we need to redirect the tasks assigned to that employee to someone else.

Resource availability plays a fundamental role in resource management. Knowing the available resources at any given time is an important factor in deciding how to distribute and allocate the right assets for any given project.

Refer to the following code example.

While managing resources, customizing the view can come in handy when you need to inspect resources that perform different roles within a single team.

Management is a practice where art, science, and craft meet! So, let’s mange our resources wisely with our WPF Scheduler Resource View!
