            SubjectMapping="Subject"
            AppointmentBackgroundMapping="AppointmentColor"
            StartTimeMapping="StartTime"
            EndTimeMapping="EndTime"
            ReminderTimeMapping="ReminderTime">
        </syncfusion:ScheduleAppointmentMapping>
    </syncfusion:SfSchedule.AppointmentMapping>
</syncfusion:SfSchedule>

c#

// Schedule data mapping for custom appointments
ScheduleAppointmentMapping dataMapping = new ScheduleAppointmentMapping();
dataMapping.SubjectMapping = "Subject";
dataMapping.StartTimeMapping = "StartTime";
dataMapping.EndTimeMapping = "EndTime";
dataMapping.AppointmentBackgroundMapping = "AppointmentColor";
dataMapping.ReminderTimeMapping = "ReminderTime";
