Calendar event colours based on specific events not workshop types

Set colours of individual calendar events similar to how we can in OUTLOOK would be so beneficial. Not based on workshop types - but to be able to individually change the colour of a specific calendar event

Having this option makes it easy to have quick identification of events but also in situations like COVID as an example - we would be able to assign a specific colour so we can identify workshops that have been rescheduled or had additional changes made due to COVID.

We set different colours to events in OUTLOOK when a trainer has had resources sent to them as an example. Doing this means duplicating aXcelarates calendar in OUTLOOK which is not ideal.

  I think you can do this in System Settings > Additional Options?

  Hi Mason & Adrian

  You're correct Mason. You can do this via System Settings -> Additional Options. Further, under the Settings menu item, there are "Training Categories". These can be setup to further customise course colours within the calendar.

  Thanks

  Mark

  I might just plug my post here: https://axcelerate.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/community/posts/360007327315-Increase-training-category-options

  As mentioned above, you can create training categories based on workshop types or qualifications. It would be good if this could be expanded on so you could use the colour feature for more criteria.

  no sorry, that doesn't work. You can select colours for workshop types but you cannot individually select colours for individual events - as far as I can see and "support" has said.  

  I want / really need to be able to adjust the colours in the calendar on an event by event basis - eg be able to over-ride the default set colours for each event in the calendar

  Would love to be able to pick what colour at the calendar point. Currently we colour code per Training Room in use (in another document and don't use aX), so the same workshop could be many colours depending on the location. 
  Being able to code colours like Outlook on that calendar screen would be awesome! :)
