+
+## Description
+
+This KB article answers the following questions:
+
+* How to focus and highlight the current time slot on load?
+* How to auto scroll horizontally the Scheduler Timeline to the current time slot?
+* How to style the current time slot in the Scheduler Timeline?
+
+## Solution
+
+1. Set the [Scheduler `View` parameter](slug:scheduler-views-overview) with two-way binding or with a [`ViewChanged` handler](slug:scheduler-events#viewchanged). Thus the app will know which is the current view.
+1. Define the [Scheduler `OnCellRender` event](slug:scheduler-events#oncellrender). Set a custom CSS class with `args.Class` if `args.Start` matches the current or desired time.
+1. Use the custom CSS class to apply custom styles.
+1. Use [`querySelectorAll()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelectorAll) and the custom CSS class to find the slot element in the HTML DOM.
+1. Use [`scrollIntoView()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView) to scroll to the slot.
