When no datasource is bound, the slot titles and resource group names are not shown, despite being known. After binding to a datasource, they get set immediately. This leads to a glitchy user experience, as there is an empty table with no text whatsoever, as long no databinding is triggeredThe resource descriptions and slot header texts should be set independently from the data binding. The behavior can be observed in the attached example.

Hello Frieder,
Thank you for writing to us. I hope you are doing well.
This behavior happens because the Resource values of the Scheduler are still not known without it getting bound. You see, when the .AutoBind() property of the Scheduler is disabled and set to false, this is also being applied for the underlying .Resources() collection:
"If set to false the widget will not bind to the data source during initialization. In this case data binding will occur when the change event of the
data source is fired. That will also apply for data sources for the resources used in the widget."
As described here:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/scheduler/configuration/autobind
This means that the Scheduler table knows about these field names even without binding:
.Title("Area")
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.DataColorField("Color")
Therefore, the table cannot calculate its cell size accurately and shows a bunch of smashed cells for the entire year (without horizontal scroll bar):
I hope this explanation makes sense. If you want to change this appearance to have a more pleasant visualization, you can include this CSS rule:
<style>
.k-scheduler-layout {
overflow: scroll;
display: block;
}
.k-slot-cell {
width: 166px;
}
</style>
And after binding it takes its final form:
I hope this info will prove helpful. Do not hesitate to let me know if I
made a mistake somewhere or
you need
more particular and specific example/code. I will be ready to help you
with any other inquires you might have.
