**Events** - Appointments contain information on events scheduled at specific times. In addition to the default appointments, the users can use their own collections to connect a business entity to an appointment by mapping their fields, such as start time, end time, subject, notes, and recurrence.

**Recurrence Events** — Easily configure recurring events on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Also skip or change the occurrence of a recurring appointment.

**First day of the week** - Customize the first day of the week as needed. The default first day is Sunday.

**Flexible working days** - Customize the workdays in a workweek so that the remaining days will be hidden from view.

**Appearance Customization** — Provide a unique look to the scheduler with the event appearance customization.

**Localization** — Display the current date and time by following the globalized date and time formats, and localize all available static texts in the SfScheduler.

**Reminder** - Use the reminders to organize the appointments in the scheduler. The Scheduler reminds about the appointment at the specified time.

**LoadOnDemand** - The SfScheduler supports loading appointments on-demand with loading indicator and it improves the loading performance when there are appointments range for multiple years.
