Color Coding Appointments – Help Center

Color coding can make your appointment schedule more visually appealing and organized. When you color-code appointments, the scheduler creates a unique, personalized interface to present them. To quickly identify appointments for haircuts, for example, you could color all appointments in that category green.

Appointments can be color-coded in three different ways: by appointment status, by a staff member, or by service type. In this article, we will go over the various methods for color coding your appointments.

Things to know:

MyTime uses a standard set of colors for color coding and does not include a color palette from which to choose colors
You can manually override any appointment’s color in the scheduler by clicking on the appointment and selecting from the colors below the service on the appointment modal

Configuring Color Coding Automatically

To set up automatic color coding for your appointments:

Navigate to Business Setup > Settings
Locate the setting, "Color Code Appointments Automatically" below the Calendar section
A list of preferences will appear when you toggle to "YES"
- Appointment Status - allows you to color code your appointments based on their status
- Staff Members - allows you to color code based on the staff members
- Services - allows you to color code based on the services categories in your service menu

Color Code by Service

If the option to automatically color code based on services is selected, each service category is randomly assigned a color. This means that if you have multiple services in the Haircut category, each appointment for any service in that category will have the same color.

However, you can customize the colors for each service from the service menu. When you select Apply to all variations of the service, the color of all services in that category changes.
