Customising calendar colours

Assigning different colours to your calendars helps you distinguish between events at a glance and group related calendars. For example, you can assign a single colour to all project-related or shared calendars to locate events quickly or to prioritise them. Refer to this guide for further detail.

Quick Start

To assign a colour to an existing calendar, follow the steps below:

  1. Sign in to your portal.
  2. Click the Calendar icon icon in the upper-right corner.
  3. All your calendars are displayed on the left. Hover over the required calendar and click the Edit Calendar icon - pencil icon that appears to open the Edit Calendar window.
  4. Click the Colour swatch to assign a different colour to your calendar, and the Text Colour swatch to select a different colour for the text within the calendar events.
  5. Click Save to apply the changes.

The same procedure applies to assigning or changing the colour of other calendars.
