How to color-code administrative calendars

Are your calendars a giant sea of gray? It’s easy to color-code your events and facilities on both administrative and public calendars. If you don’t assign a color, the event or reservation will appear gray on calendars.

To assign a calendar color to existing events and facilities, follow these steps:

  1. In Event Management, open a calendar activity event, program or reservation, and click Edit.
  2. Scroll to the Display Color item. It’s located just above the Upsell Category menu.
  3. Select a color to display on the calendar.
  4. Save your changes and exit the event or facility.

Assigning Display Color

When the items are displayed on a calendar, it will use the color you selected. If you assign a color to a calendar activity event or a program, the color will be used on your organization’s public-facing event calendar and your administrative calendars. If you assign a color to a facility, all reservations for the facility will be displayed on the administrative calendars

You can use the color-coding feature any way that makes sense for your organization. For example, you can assign a unique color to each type of facility to provide an informative snapshot about upcoming reservations. Or, you can assign a unique color to every event and facility in a specific category.?
