Conditional Color Coded List

I have done this in excel long time ago and I though it was going to be as simple as it was with excel.
I'm trying to implement a conditional color coded list with the criteria below:
Fields:
- Health (blank cell that will change colors)
- Due Date (cell with dates)
Criteria:
- Red if [due date] < date.now
- Yellow if [due date] > date.now - 10
- Green everything else
How would I implement that in SharePoint?
Thanks in advance
ps:I'm not a C# programmer so I don' t know if the syntax for datetime or dude date column are right.

Hi mpaulopes,
Here is a step by step guide reference to provision conditional formatting using SharePoint designer. It will give you proper idea about how to do this. It is for SP2010 however it won't make much difference.

I hope this helps.

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 coded calculated list column in content query web part

I have a calculated column in a list for displayig color coded values using the link
http://blog.splibrarian.com/2012/06/06/using-calculated-columns-to-add-color-coding-to-your-sharepoint-lists/
Now for rollup i am using the lists to display them in a content query web part so i have updated the .webpart file and imported and added, made changes in the item style and uploaded ad finally inserted the web part in the page.
But while diplaying hte custom column, it is being eing displayed as
string;#<DIV style='font-weight:bold; font-size:24px; color:green;'>•</DIV>
As you can notice it has appended string;# before the text. How do i avoid this? Thanks

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

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:

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.

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.

Color coding of calendar in Sharepoint 2010

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:

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.

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

Color coded mail rule stopped working

We were color coding our email via rules. i.e. anything from family is highlighted in blue on the list of mail.
Just got a new MacbookPro and installed everything to it from Time Machine. Now the rules seem to be working intermitantely. They show up if you go to preferences and look at the rules, but don't seem to be totally functioning.
Any thoughts?

Well all I can suggest is that you go in and check out the settings on that mail rule and see if everything is just like it was a year ago (when it was working ;)).

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.

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.
Thanks

Apps must say FREE! Not color coding it's version with Silver & Gold.

Apple needs to be more strict, about the Apps people submit. It's awful to have someone put out an App, that has two of the same. One, with the free version, and the other being the purchased version. But, both icons almost look identical, with one having a Silver band around it, and the other with a Gold band around it. Indicating that the Gold band is the full version. Well, that's not right! There have been so many times, where you could sware you previously owned an app, then watch it download without the "you previously own this, would you like this update for free~". Now knowing that you just purchased the App... Then when you talk to the Apps Customer Service, they say "Well, one is Silver, being the free version, and the Gold being the full paid version." That's their defense?
Bottom line... These app icons must say FREE on them, or else it's an easy way to make the developers more money, and basically calling us an ideot for not remembering the Silver, or Gold band. I mean, come on Apple! I am begging for these app icons, to say FREE, and not color coding their version.
Doesn't that sound like the right thing to do?
Thanks Guys!

It's up to the developer of the apps to make an icon for their apps. Of course they want the two versions ofthe app to have similar icons which is why they have a differen coloured border.
As far as redownloading previously purchased apps, I would have to say it's your responsibility to know what you have downloaded before. The apps do list the price in the AppStore and if you are insure then I would suggest downloading the version with free as the price.
As far as the AppStore programming rules go apple controls that so you could send some feedback but I think they would say that the price is clearly listed and it does not need to be added to the title or elsewhere. I believe apple does suggest developers add lite or another indicator saying that it is a demo of a paid version in the app title or description.
