Color coding of appointments please!!

I want to get an iPhone.. I really do but I refuse to do so until Apple releases an update that allows setting categories / labels and COLORS to appointments. For such and advance device the iPhone is very lacking on the whole calendar / contacts field. It has really bad options for adding information to a contact and the calendar needs better views!
I don't know if anybody from the iPhone development team ever goes over this forum, but if you do.. PLEASE add color coding (and make sure it syncs with the color coding on Outlook please).
Then you'll just have to release a 32GB version with 3G capabilities on a CDMA network like Sprint and I'm YOURS!

Why don't you give feedback yourself?

Outlook 2007 Calendar color coding (categories) of appointments and meeting

I synce my new iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook 2007 from work. I have all my appointment meetings color coded (categorized) in Outlook. The color coding is not showing up on my iPhone calendar. Why?

Hi,
I did a test on my side: The account in Outlook was an Outlook.com account, I created an appointment in its calendar, gave it a category. Then I logged on the calendar on
https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx, the appointment was there and I could see the category, but there's no color on it.
Based on what I see, it's probably by design that Outlook.com Calendars don't display category colors, although it already has a category. To confirm this, you can post the question in Outlook.com forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
Since iPad is not a Microsoft product, I'm not sure and can't guarantee if it supports the calendar categories that Outlook supports.

Calendar - Color Coded

On the web site they show appointments in different colors. How do you accomplish that?

There is no color coding for individual appointments on the BB. My wife does the same thing and would like to have the colors as well. Sorry.

Hi,
How do you color code the calendar items? From conditional formatting or from categories?

Calendar App: color coded events...

Hello,
Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
Please can any one in the community advise:
1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
Regards,
Richard

It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.

CSS WON'T GET COLOR CODED UNLESS THE FILE IS IN A PROJECT?? R U KIDDIN??

If I open a CSS file outside of a project, there is no color coding! Please tell me this can be changed. I DO NOT WANT CFBUILDER ORGANIZING MY PROJECTS!
$299 for this? Really - please explain why I should pay $300 for a bloated version of Homesite? Homesite was GREAT! You guys frakked up by killing it. CFB is confusing, the settings especially, nothing does what it states. Spend too much time trying to figure out how to update a simple thing. Bad when I have to Google when I just want to display line numbers. Typical Adobe - non-intuitive.

Stop shouting. Jesus.
What you're whining about is the equivalent of my mum (who is a lovely little old lady in her late 70s) buying a new VHS and having a tanty of the buttons not being in "the right place".
If you struggle so much with a software app having settings in different places that it yields this sort of response - and not even an inital visceral response, but lingering enough for you to put the caps lock on and write it down! - you're in the wrong industry, mate. We're not talking rocket surgery here. Or even brain science.
That's not to say that shifting from something like HS to Eclipse doesn't involve a bit of a mindshift, but it's not the end of the world. And no-one's making you change text editors either.
Personally I think CFS was a really good text editor, and I rued moving onto DW (not my choice, I was the guinea pig for a failed experiment at a job I had years ago), and when I moved from DW to Eclipse I spend a few moments going "what's all this project sh!t?". But then I realised everything I work on actually is a project, and there's no harm in having a little organisation in my work. And the work of the rest of the team. And whilst I found Eclipse has some quirks I could do without, I also remember CFS had some quirks I could do without (and DW was an app I could simply do without from start it finish), so they're even in that regard. But I also found that Eclipse's inifintitely customisable platform is a real boon for my development across various languages and productivity tools. Eclipse really is far far better than CFS when one looks at the bigger picture: the one that is outside the realms of developing just basic websites, by one's self, on a single server (and that's not Adobe's target market with CF & CFB anyway, I think).
That said: CFB has a way to go (and is ot worth $300: it's just a Eclipse plug-in after all), but being built on Eclipse is a good start.
I look fwd to CFB 2.0 to see if it's worth buying...

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to color coding of calendar in SharePoint 2010
To get this done efficiently, SharePoint’s built-in calendar overlays are the way to go.
You can follow the steps as below:
Customize category column in the calendar list
Create views filtered by category column
Create blank view where the category filters for NULL value
Add the calendar overlays
For more information, you can refer to:

Calendar app that will look like Palm os Calender (color coded)?

I currently HATE the calendar that is available for the iphone. Anybody know of a calendar app that will work on the iphone 4 that is like the Palm os calendars. I would like to have a month at a glance and see each family members events color coded. For instance all doc appointments are noted by a red dot. All bills due are a green dot and work is a blue dot. My daughters events are all pink dots and my sons events are all yellow dots. I have not been able to figure out how to put all of my nieces and nephews birthdays in the calendar so I get a reminder to send out b-day cards. HELP

Label Printer - to do color coding

I am looking for a printer, which could print labels with color coding.
Let me explain, what I am trying to acheive..
1. I should be able to print labels, - labels of size 4 X 6 IN, or 3 X 2 IN or any sizes of label -- > the label is not colored, just like any normal label, with white background, and data being printed in black color..(this is what all intermec and zebra printers do.. )
2. Label has barcodes --> linear bar codes as well as 2D Matrix barcodes... : This could be acheived by any of the Intermec printers (PM4i or 3400E ) or Zebra Printers.
3. The label should contain a colored strip based on the content of the packing box . for eg, if it is rubber part, the label should contain a Red color strip, if plastic then yellow color, if assembly then blue and so on... A colored bar of rectangular shape, (1 cm width and 3 cm long ).
Does anyone know any Printers out in the market, which could do this 3 rd step ? (obviously along with first step and second step ).
I called Intermec and Zebra - they both dont have it...
Also, Please keep in mind that, these printer should be capable of printing these labels from SAP ---> ie, we will be calling a standard text (SO10), using the write_form, and these printer should be able to print it...
Any input, even a clue, will be of much help for me.
Thank you
Sujamol

From the top of my head, something like this.
IIF([Priority]="High", "<RED>" + [Description] + "</RED>", IIF([Priority]="Medium", <YELLOW>" + [Description] + "</YELLOW>", <GREEN>" + [Description] + "</GREEN>"))
But I vaguely remember you could assign colors to fields in the Calendar, so I think I did something else.
I think I created calculated fields where only one would have text depending on the Priority.
So let's say I created 3 calculated fields and added them all three to the calendar.
Only fields that contain text will show up.
Calculated Field Description Red: IIF([Priority]="High", [Description], "")
Calculated Field Description Yellow: IIF([Priority]="Medium", [Description], "")
Calculated Field Description Green: IIF([Priority]="Low", [Description], "")
But I never worked with On Demand Calendar, so you have to check what works best for you.
You can also check: How to Configure Standard Applet "Activity HI Calendar Applet" so it Displays Icons or Different Colors to Reflect the Status of the Activities? [ID 1373880.1]
And it looks like you have more control in Siebel 8 (again, I never worked with On Demand, so you have to check yourself).

Where is SQL color coding in Dreamweaver?

I can't seem to find the SQL color coding in Dreamweaver
CS4... how can this be omitted from such a product? Is it staring
me in the face and I am just incredibly dull and can't find
it?

Alphom wrote:

coloring for SQL files is ridiculous.
Dreamweaver's SQL creation handles very simple SQL pretty
easy, think SELECT * FROM or SELECT col1, col2, col3 WHERE id =
parameter. But beyond that, Dreamweaver just isn't the tool for
editing/creating SQL.
I can't think of the last time that I used Dreamweaver to
create SQL beyond the above. If I need something more complex, I'll
either enter it in myself into the SQL string in a recordset, or
use other SQL specific tools to create SQL such as Enterprise
Manger for SQL Server, or SQL Server Management Studio Express for
SQL Server 2005, or MySQL Control Center for MySQL, that sort of
thing. Not every tool can do everything, so I try to use the
appropriate tool for the appropriate task.
Now, that doesn't mean that I don't feel like it should allow
for a better application building experience within Dreamweaver. I
feel that there should be a full fledged query builder similar to
the query builder within Access that would allow for complex SQL
generation. But I've asked for that, and if you want it, or other
server/database related features, please do ask for it:

Custom Color coding of SharePoint Calendar does not work on a site collection that uses olso master page

Hi,
I created a color coded calendar following instructions below specified at the below URL.
http://davidlozzi.com/2012/06/20/customize-the-sharepoint-calendar-colors/
however, My Site collection uses oslo master page and because it does not show quick launch, I don't see the legend of the color coded colors.
Is it possible to make above solution work with oslo master page?
Please help...
techie

Hi,
Can you provide a screenshot of your page about how the calendar looks like in your environment?
As you said, “I don't see the legend of the color coded colors”, is it mean that the list of overlays on the right side of the page disappears when applying oslo master
page?
In my environment, after applying the oslo master page and adding overlay to the current Calendar view, it will be like this:
It turns out that the list of overlays still there.
Feel free to reply if this is not what you really mean.

Palm Desktop 4.2 - Text of color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

Environment:
Treo 680
Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro
Color coded calendar entries have been working great since I got my phone over a year ago. When I added a new color category (bringing my total to 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the color coded bar for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden. Nor was I able to edit the entry using Palm Desktop since any attempt to select the entry tries to create a new entry.
Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of color categories I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unfiled). Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (color bar for appointment, but no text visible), including those marked with a category of "undefined".
The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my default category (not unfiled). This affects all of my existing calendar entries and any new ones I create, regardless of whether I create them on the Treo or using Palm Desktop.
If I press <tab> to cycle through my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color cateogry where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. it skips all the other appointments).
The calendar entries are all visible on my Treo, thankfully.
I have not installed any new apps or updates.
I've not been able to find anyone else reporting this problem.
My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I set categories to all?
Tools > Categories
Whichever category I select here becomes the default category and its entries will be visible, but all other categories will be hidden. My only other options are New, Delete, Rename and Help.
The only other configuration setting for categories that I can find is under
Tools -> Preferences
I have the checkbox "Display color-coded categories" checked
Thanks!

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:
http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/microsoft-entourage-vs-apple-mail /
Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Navigation and Color Coding

Hello Guys,
I have got couple of design questions.
1. I have a report with a view selector on it(Annual, quarter, month) that navigates to another report with the same view selector(annual quarter month) The problem I have is with the navigation landing pages.
When i changed my report to quarter view from the annual view and then navigate to the report B I still land in ANNUAL view as that is the first view of the report. Users expect to land on quarter view directly based on what they select on the report A.
So i was wondering if there is a way to control the view selector and column selector landing pages when navigation from report A to report B.
2. This is regarding Color coding. I have three columns in my report Year, quarter, month with conditional color coding done on it(when year=09 then red, when month =jan then blue some thing like that). So now the report has both table and pivot view. The users want to see the color coding only on pivot but not on table. Is there a way to achieve that? I tried duplicating the columns and hiding in the table but hiding in the table will hide across all the views. So i am kind of stuck there as well.
Can we control this?
Any advice is appreciated
thanks
Prash

Regarding 2) don't know how feasible this is since I can't see your report, but you can try this:
1) For the columns that you want color-coded, put two instances in your Criteria mode. Now color code one each of those "dual columns" for your pivot table.
2) For the "Table View" build another pivot table, but design it like a table, but this time using the "uncolor-coded" columns in that pivot table and keeping the other columns in the Excluded box.

Color coding of appointments please!!
