Time options

8 Mar 20187 minutes to read

Start date and end date in the data source defines the starting point and ending point of a task in the project. The two data types are:

  • Date
  • Datetime

The datetime data type for start date and end date defines the exact starting point and ending point of a task along with time details of a day. There are two types of time scales available based on working hours:

  • TimeScale8Hours for 8 hour working scale
  • TimeScale24Hours for 24 hour working scale

Use the following code example for setting different time scales of working hours:

  • JAVASCRIPT
  • <body ng-controller="GanttCtrl">
       <!--Add  Gantt control here-->    
       <div id="GanttContainer" ej-gantt
          //...
          e-workingtimescale=ej.Gantt.workingTimeScale.TimeScale24Hours
          >
       </div>
    </body>

    Use the following code example to include time options in start date and end date of a task:

  • JAVASCRIPT
  • <body ng-controller="GanttCtrl">
       <!--Add  Gantt control here-->    
       <div id="GanttContainer" ej-gantt
          //...
          e-datasource= "taskDetails"

                    e-startdatemapping= "startDate"
                    e-progressmapping= "progress"
                    e-durationmapping= "duration"
                    e-enddatemapping= "endDate"
                    e-childmapping= "subtasks"

                    e-scheduleenddate= new Date("03/14/2016 00:00:00 PM")
                    e-workingtimescale= ej.Gantt.workingTimeScale.TimeScale24Hours
