Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to add new metadata and to use the new metadata column in the calendar for color coding. Please suggest how i can do this?
Thanks.

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:
Four Easy Steps to Customized Color Code Calendars in SharePoint
Color-Code Events on a SharePoint Calendar
In addition, you can use code to achieve what you want. Please refer to:

How do I share a color-coded Outlook calendar with others in my office that they can see the colors too?

Hi,
How do you color code the calendar items? From conditional formatting or from categories?
Please make sure the user has been given reviewer or higher calendar permission to view items colors in Outlook. About how to share calendar in Outlook, please refer to:

Issue with Copy of events from Outlook Calendar to SharePoint 2010 calendar(mapped in outlook)

There is a issue while copying events in Outlook mapped SharePoint 2010 Calendar.
This issue only seems to happen when user copies an event from his Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
He is able to create a new event in the SharePoint calendar from Outlook.
He tried below steps, but still no success
1.
Open your Outlook calendar.
2. Open the event you want to copy.
3. From the File menu, select Info.
4. Click the Move to Folder button.
5. In the Copy Items To dialog box, scroll down to the SharePoint Lists item and select the SharePoint calendar to which you want to copy the event.
6. Click the OK button.
7. Click the Yes button when prompted to continue.
Please let me know if there is any possible solution for it.

Hi,
I have done a test as your steps. I am able to copy an event from my Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
1. I suggest you test in another compute, perhaps your Outlook results to that issue.
2. Please create a new site collection, then test again, compare the result.
3. Maybe it will take some time before the copied event displays in the SharePoint 2010 calendar. So, wait a minute, compare the result.

Calendars disappear/ color-coding of calendars keeps changing

I am using iCal and MobileMe to sync across two Macs. Here are my problems:
- My events in iCal disappear -- all of them. I normally have five calendar categories (Home, Work, etc.), but often all of the calendars disappear along with the events. Quitting and restarting iCal tends to fix it, but this happens multiple times a day.
- I keep changing the color labels for my calendars, and the labels don't stick. For example, if I make Home blue, often when I reopen iCal, it'll have changed to purple. I have a theory that the colors are set by the order in which the calendars appear in the left side of the screen (so I've tried to re-order them to my preference by dragging and dropping. This tends to make all of the calendars disappear (see above). Even when I change the color-coding, iCal overrides it. (One note on this: one of my calendars is published, and it's this calendar that constantly ends up at the top of the list and has its color label changed.)
Greatly appreciate any help.

I'm having a problem with calendar colors, too. It's slightly different. When I try to sync, I get a conflict notice and the sync does not work. The notice says that colors do not match (i.e. work is blue on the mac and another color on the me.com site). However, both of the calendars ARE BLUE! I've tried selecting the mac version and the me.com version. My choice appears to be accepted. I get a syncing message and then the conflict notice reappears and I am not able to sync. Thankfully, I can sync with iPhone. I spent about 2 hours on support chat and they were unable to resolve this problem. I've deleted calendars (such as birthday) and am down to personal and work. Still no luck.

Category color coding with calendar

I recently bought the centro and when I try to sync with my mac, it 'greys' out all the category color coding on my desktop calendar. Any ideas?

i have tried that and it will work when mac overwrites handheld...the problem is i can not sync the two devices...(i.e. what if i place something in the centro datebook? i can not get it to sync with desktop without wiping out categories on mac...) SO, i have to re-enter any new date book entries a second time on desktop...

No Color Coding of Calendars

Hi. On my PC, I have several different colors in use (personal=green, important=red, travel required=teal, etc.) and I think there are supposed to be dots of corresponding colors on my iphone after sync...but I get no dots. Is there a setting I have turned off?

The labels applied in Outlook do not transfer over. When you see multiple calendar colors on the iPhone, that is because _multiple calendars_ are being synced. You would need to create additional calendars in MS Outlook, then sync the iPhone. Use the help search box to search for "new calendar".

How to create Two Week View of Calendar in Sharepoint 2010.

There is an option of Week View when i am using Calendar web part, it is showing 1 week view.
I want to create Two(2) week view of Calendar.
How can i create Two week view of Calendar.
Please Help.
Thanks.

Hi Priyeshrawat,
Calendar web part doesn’t provide settings to display two weeks view.
Based on my understanding, you need to custom a server control to show as the calendar, just like the default calendar control. B y default calendar web part doesn’t contain property to set this.

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.

Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar.
Plese share your knowledge.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to make a color events Calendar.
We can achieve it using the OOB method by creating the Calendars Overlay.

You can also use the JavaScript to achieve 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.

Colored Calendar in Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
I have tried every solution to get my Calendar for SharePoint 2013 to have colors for different event types, but to no avail. Overlays don't work since the calendars are based off of a list item, not a calendar item. Overlay is just not an option in
that case. I am putting my calendar on a page with other APPs, that seemed to have messed up the color options to begin with. I guess in that case I created a calendar with Overlays, and then inserted that into a page with other items. When
I did that the overlay colors disappeared.
When I tried this one ttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/ca331954-0771-4fc9-9c9e-b7efca6114f8/color-code-calendar-by-category?forum=sharepointdevelopmentprevious
(I had to remove the first "h" since it wouldn't let me insert a link until my account is verified, and I didn't know how else to not have it automatically create it as a link here).
I noticed this warning in Dimitri's description ... could this be what is causing my problems?
"Caution: The jQuery JavaScript library must be available in your environment."
How do I know if the JQuery JavaScript library is available?
I'm not sure what to try next. I don't want to move forward with my program until this gets figured out, since it is so important to the project.
Thank you, Liz.

Do you have SharePoint Designer 2010 installed?
Open your site in sharepoint designer
click lists and libraries
click the name of your list
in "views" on the right, click "new..." and give it a name.
in this new view of the list, click in one of the cells of the actual list of issues, so that the contextual ribbon at the top will give you all the options you need.
Click "Conditional Formatting" in the ribbon. This will let you pick "row".
Then you just have to define your conditions:
if priority is equal to (3) Low, then pick yellow as the background color. Do the same type of thing to create the other 2 conditions.

Congratulate you got the solution by yourself. I am new to a

What are the minimum requirements to successfully Synchronize a SharePoint 2010 Calendar or Task List with Outlook 2010?

Hi,
To synchronize these libraries and lists, you must have Outlook 2010 installed on your client computer and you must have Collaborate permission to the library or list.
You don’t need any permissions for the user profile.
I provide you a link about synchronizing SharePoint 2010 content with Outlook 2010 for your reference:
