What is the best method for defining a scheduler visualisation (and editor)? Basically I think I am looking for something similar to a Gantt chart (not quite the same) where I have a start and end date. However it isn't as simple as that, as I have 2 start and end dates for the system (A primary and a secondary which will always be less than or equal to the primary date range).

Its almost like I am looking for a gantt chart with a range slider in between the extents of the primary dates. From a user experience point of view would this work? (The two items are very closely related). Do you have any other suggestions for better ways of doing this?

    you need to give us more info to work with. Are we talking tens of date ranges or hundreds? Does moving a secondary start date always affect the primary end date? What drawbacks in your proposed solution do you think our suggestions might solve?

  • It would also help to know what data you're dealing with, just in terms of being able to map it in my brain. I might be able to refer back to a project I once did if I don't have to think in abstracts.

It sounds like you have a kind of flexible-time/core-time distinction. Try something like this: enter image description here
