Every event on your Calendar must have an Event Category. Your Event Categories will appear at the top of the Calendar in the Event Legend with a colored icon next to it. Each Event on the Calendar will also have a colord icon next to it to identify what Type of Event it is.
For example, you could have an event type called "Meetings" with a red icon. All the "Meeting" events on your Calendar will have this red icon. You could also have another event time called "Birthdays" marked with a yellow icon. The "Birthday" events on the Calendar would have a yellow icon.
Create Event Category
Click Calendar in the administration menu.
Click Event Categories. Then click Add a New Event Category.
Enter a Name for your Event Category. The Name will appear at the top of the Calendar in the Event Legend.
Choose a color for the event type that will be the color of the icon on the Calendar. You may either choose a color from the menu or enter a custom color in six-digit hexadecimal format.
