Scheduler vs Scheduler Pro

Scheduler shows the schedule. Scheduler Pro can recalculate it from rules like dependencies, calendars, constraints, and assignments.

Scheduler Visualizes.
Scheduler Pro Calculates.

Bryntum Scheduler is a fast, interactive timeline. You can drag, resize, filter, group, edit, and export events, and your users decide where everything goes.

Scheduler Pro does that too, but includes a scheduling engine. Instead of just showing events, it can recalculate event dates from rules like dependencies, constraints, working calendars, and resource assignments.

Which one should you pick?

It comes down to how much scheduling logic you want the component to handle. Try moving the first event in both demos. In Scheduler, the dependency is visual; in Scheduler Pro, dependent events can move too because the scheduling engine recalculates the plan.

Scheduler vs Scheduler Pro Feature Comparison

Moving dependent events is only one part of Scheduler Pro.

The table below shows where Scheduler focuses on timeline editing and visualization, and where Scheduler Pro adds scheduling logic such as calendars, constraints, utilization views, travel time, split events, and nested events.

About Scheduler Pro’s Scheduling Engine

Scheduler Pro has a powerful built-in scheduling engine. It is the brain keeping your tasks scheduled based on:

Working-time calendars

Define working and non-working time for the project, resources, or events. Intervals can repeat. See the Event non-working time demo.

Dependencies

Link events so a successor can react when its predecessor event changes. See the Dependencies demo

Constraints

Set rules such as  Must start on or Must finish on and the engine respects them during scheduling. See the Constraints demo

Additional Scheduler Pro Widgets

schedulerpro-resource-utilization-height
Resource Utilization

Shows allocation by resource and event, so overbooked resources are easier to spot.

schedulerpro-resource-histogram-height
Resource Histogram

Visualizes resource allocation over time, with capacity and availability shown alongside the schedule.

schedulerpro-timeline-height
Timeline Widget

A read-only view that shows events independently of the resources they are assigned to.

More Ways to Extend Scheduler Pro

Combining with Gantt

Scheduler Pro can consume Gantt projects and be used to visualize Gantt tasks: Gantt + Scheduler Pro demo

Mapbox Integration

Integrate Scheduler Pro with Mapbox (third-party map library) to visualize events on a map: Maps demo

Overlay Chart

Add a chart to the schedule using Chart.js (third-party chart library) to visualize data: Embedded Chart demo
