Custom Timeline in Scheduler
Currently, the Scheduler lacks the ability to create a custom timeline, making it difficult for users to plan orders starting in one week/month and ending in the next week/month. This lack of functionality can lead to a lot of clicking and scrolling and difficulty in visualizing the total order.
We propose adding a feature that allows users to define a custom timeline in the Scheduler. For example, this could be a timeline starting from 'today + 1 week' or other similar custom periods.
This will allow users to have a more efficient and streamlined planning process, minimizing the need for excessive clicking and scrolling, and providing a clearer overview of the total order.
Thank you for voting on this feature request. Our product team is currently reviewing it and evaluating its feasibility and potential impact. We will keep you updated on any progress.

In the current scheduler, the work hours are differentiated with a white background color (class e-work-hours), while the rest of the cells are light grey. The work hours seem to be hard-coded to 08:00 - 20:00, and no configuration settings are found to change them. Though there are settings for "Work start" and "Work end," they only control the display of columns and not the differentiation of work hour cells.
We suggest enhancing the scheduler by allowing the "Work start" and "Work end" settings to define which cells are given the class e-work-hours (and thus, the white background). This will allow customization of the work hours as per organizational needs.
Additionally, we can introduce a separate setting to control which columns are displayed, providing further flexibility and control over the scheduler's appearance and functionality.

The addition of an impactful feature to the Scheduler Portlet, specifically introducing the "Timeline Work Day" view, as per our customer's needs. The primary objective of this view is to display selected working hours instead of the conventional 24-hour format, enhancing the scheduler's relevance and usability.
To achieve this, we propose two essential components:
Custom Views: Empower users with the ability to create custom views within the scheduler. The "Timeline Work Day" view will be highly customizable, allowing users to tailor it according to their unique requirements and preferences. This feature would enable them to focus on their specific working hours, streamlining their scheduling experience.
View Settings: Implement individualized view settings for each custom view. This includes the option to define distinct "Work start" and "Work end" settings exclusively for the "Timeline Work Day" view, without impacting other views. By allowing users to set their desired working hours independently, we ensure maximum flexibility and adaptability to various scheduling needs.
