Time in the igScheduler is always shown according to the current browser offset (hours). Currently the scheduler does not support showing times in a different zone than the browser's time zone.
A pre-defined color scheme with twelve colors is provided by the scheduler, which cannot be changed by the end user.
Currently it is not possible to customize the appearance of the scheduler events by using templates.
Scheduler appointments are visualized using canvas which could not be processed by screen readers. Consider listing selected appointments separately, in igGrid for instance, for accessibility purposes.
The list below provides links to more details related to how WAI-ARIA support has been implemented in Widgets that are part of the scheduler.
Sunday is used as the first day of the week by default and currently we do not expose an option that could be used to set a different day of the week (e.g. Monday).
Currently igScheduler can handle only local datasource.
Currently the igScheduler doesn't have swipe gestures support for actions like swipe left or swipe right for example.
There is accessibility limitation with tab navigation and selection of appointment, by using the keyboard.
320 pixels is the minimum resolution under which igScheduler will be fully visible with properly aligned html elements. This applies for mobile devices.
For next releases it is planned to add a message that will be shown when minimum resolution is reached.
Using the views option exposed by the Ignite UI for MVC to control which views(Agenda, Week, Day, Month) are initialized does not work. This will be implemented for the next scheduler version.
