I'm wondering if there is a way to color code the different events like doctor appointments, birthdays etc. thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Yes, you can colour code events just like the screenshots on the AppStore.

There are 2 ways you can do this:
1 The preferred way, you create new calendars within the app and assign the calendar a colour. Then, when you add out edit an event you select that calendar. I personally have Home, Work, Sports, Friends, Holidays etc as specific calendars, each with its own unique colour.

2 Alternatively you can tap Event Color when you are adding or editing an event. It defaults to Calendar Color (so that option 1 above applies), but this option will display a colour picker to allow you make a different selection.

Let me know how you get on!

Hi, I have been trying to use this for colour coding and worked for home and work as the standard colours. But I added a new calendar with the colour green, if I add an event with this calendar it does not show up on the calendar. I need to manually change the event color to green aswell. Is there something I have not setup properly.
Thanks in anticipiation

Hi Susan,
My bet is you have a calendar filter set? Do you see the icon in the toolbar that looks like a drawer? Tap that, and make sure All Calendars is ticked.

I have not got the filter set, all calendars are showing.

If I change an event to a different calendar it will disapear from the view even without filters. But I have just checked and if I add an event of the new calendar type from the day view. When I click on Done I go tot he day view with a blank line which shows there is an event but it is not visible unless I change the event color, the calendar selection is not enough.

That sounds really strange, can you email me a screenshot? eventium.support @ johnhair.com (remove the spaces from the email address obviously).
Edit the event and send a screenshot pls, and then another screenshot of the how the event shows in the day view.

Thanks
John

I have sent the email from my phone with screenshots to explain better.
