The content of a Nevron Schedule document is simply called a schedule. As shown in the Schedule Overview topic, a schedule consists of the following parts:

• Header - displays the names of the groups currently used for grouping schedule appointments. Different schedule view modes can have different groupings. By default each schedule view mode is grouped by date, but you can easily append or prepend additional groupings.
• Time Ruler - shows the time at a given scale.
• Grid - the place where the appointments reside.
• Appointments - the pieces of data of the schedule. Usually defined by start and end time and a subject.

A view mode defines the way appointments are grouped and rendered. The Nevron Schedule has the following view modes:

• Day - a single day is shown. By default has a day grouping added.
• Work Week - the working days (5 days - Monday to Friday) of the week are shown. By default has a day grouping added.
• Week - a whole week (7 days) is shown. By default has a day grouping added.
• Month - a whole month together with the end of the previous month and the start of the new one (42 days) is shown in a calendar like manner. By default has a week grouping added.
• Timeline - shows 4 days in a timeline like manner. Does not have any groupings. The days shown can be changed via the SetDuration method of the NTimelineViewMode class.

You can control the active view mode of the schedule through the ViewMode property. Each view mode can have one or more groupings assigned. These groupings determine the way appointments are arranged inside the schedule view. For more information check out the Grouping Overview and Grouping Appointments topics.

The schedule can easily be zoomed in and out and scrolled in any direction. The easiest way to let the user zoom the schedule is to use the zoom slider that is placed in Nevron Schedule's status bar. The status bar is automatically created by schedule command builders like the NScheduleRibbonBuilder and the NScheduleCommandBarBuilder.

To zoom a schedule programmatically you should modify its ZoomFactor property, where a value of 1 means the schedule is at 100%, 0.8 means the schedule is zoomed to 80%, 1.2 means the schedule is zoomed to 120% and so on. You can also use the ZoomIn() and ZoomOut() methods to zoom the schedule in and out with the value of the ZoomStep property.

To scroll the active view mode of the schedule to a given time, you can use the schedule's ScrollToTime method passing a time span value to scroll to. For example to scroll to 6 AM you can use the following piece of code:

// Scroll the schedule to 6 AM
schedule.ScrollToTime(TimeSpan.FromHours(6));

You can also scroll the schedule by modifying its ViewportOrigin or using the ScrollInDirection(ENCompassDirection direction, double steps) method to scroll it in the given direction. The specified number of steps to scroll are automatically multiplied by the value of the SmallHScrollChange and the SmallVScrollChange properties depending on the scroll direction to determine the amount to scroll the schedule with.
