• a browsing Scheduler control: the Scheduler control will be linked to a data file or to a query. In this case, the data file contains the characteristics of appointments.
• a Scheduler control on source: the Scheduler control will be linked to a variable (a class instance in most cases). In this case, the class lists the appointments with their characteristics.

Creating a browsing Scheduler control

• use the wizard for creating the Scheduler control. To do so, select "Display the data found in a file or in an existing query". Answer the questions asked by the wizard and validate.
• modify the description of the Scheduler control.

1. Open the control description window ("Description" from the popup menu).
2. In the "Content" tab, select "File" and select the data source used. This data source can be:
   • a data file defined in the analysis,
   • a query of the project,
   • a query included in the window or in the page.
3. Associate the different items of the data source with the characteristics of the appointment. The elements preceded by a star are mandatory.
   Remark: If the associated data file does not directly contain the corresponding item, you have the ability to perform a multi-file link.
4. Validate the description window of the Scheduler control. The Scheduler control is a browsing scheduler.

To create a Scheduler control on source

• use the wizard for creating the Scheduler control. To do so, select "Display the data found in an existing variable". Answer the questions asked by the wizard and validate.
• modify the description of the Scheduler control.

1. Open the control description window ("Description" from the popup menu).
2. In the "Content" tab, select "Variable" and select the data source used (class, ...).
3. Associate the different elements (members of the class for example) of the data source with the characteristics of the appointment. The elements preceded by a star are mandatory.
4. Validate the description window of the Scheduler control. The Scheduler control is a scheduler on source.

Browsing Scheduler control

• If the user handles the appointment via the mouse (deletion via the cross, addition, move of appointments), the operations performed will be automatically applied to the data file linked to the control.
• If the user handles the appointments via a specific window or via a specific page, all you have to do is modify the data file linked to the schedule. The displayed data will be automatically refreshed. You also have the ability to use SchedulerDisplay to update the data displayed in the control.
