Adding and Modifying Categories

Categories allow you to group event types.  There must be a Category for an added (aggregated calendar) or for a regular event on your calendar.  For example Education users may have different categories for District events, Campus events, and Athletics events, Local Governments may have separate categories for City Council Meetings, Community Events, and Recycling Schedules. Each Category can be color coded.

The color coding is displayed in the event display on the calendar and in the Category Legend at the top of the Calendar. You audience can turn off Categories in the Category Legend to view only the those that interest them.

Categories are selected when you add an event, covered in the section Adding Appointments.
