How to prevent overlapping appointments

[dalswordParticipant]

Hi;
In my case, I need to prevent overlapping appointments for the same resourceId. What would be the best approach to check if newly created appointment and existing ones (stored in database) overlap? Particularly I am not sure how to handle where existing ones include recurrent appointments with exceptions.

Thanks

Hello dalsword,

The Scheduler could use a source of the DataAdapter with URL and on that way, you could make synchronization with the server.
You should use your own logic to synchronize with the server.
When a user adds new appointment the Scheduler create a unique ID for it.
You could check this appointment’s ID by $('#scheduler').jqxScheduler('getAppointments');, you will receive an array with all appointments.
After that could send to the database (with AJAX).
You could bind to appointmentAdd event which is triggered when an appointment is added.
