Conditional Coloring
Each calendar in CalendarAnything LWC is configured with a default color setting. Events or records on the calendar appear in this color by default. Conditional Coloring enables you to color code by condition.
The image below shows an example of color coding based on campaign status:
- Green: Records for In Progress campaigns
- Red: Records for Completed campaigns
- Gold: Records for Planned campaigns
Color coding based on Campaign Status
Note: Records that meet no conditional criteria appear shaded in the default calendar color.
Multilevel Conditional Coloring
Multilevel Conditional Coloring extends Conditional Coloring by enabling you to color code with up to three additional colors. An event appears in one primary color with up to three additional colors on the right side of the event. The Multilevel Color Display setting determines whether additional colors are formatted in Line or Corner format.
Multilevel color coding based on Campaign Status and three additional conditions
Multilevel Color Display format
Multilevel Conditional Coloring appears on the right side of a calendar record. If the Multilevel Color Display setting is set to Line, colors appear as vertical lines running the full-length of the record. If the setting is set to Corner, colors appear in the upper-right corner of the record.
Line format | Corner format |
---|---|
Important! | In Swimlane view, Multilevel Conditional Coloring appears in Corner format, regardless of whether Multilevel Color Display has been set to Line or Corner. |
Color coding with Conditional and Multilevel Conditional Coloring
To color code with Conditional Coloring (including multilevel), use the Conditional Coloring step of the Create and Edit calendar wizard. Refer to the section on conditional coloring in Create, Edit, and Share Calendars for help.
To enable Multilevel Conditional Coloring, you must set the Multilevel Color Display field to Line or Corner. This setting is located under CalendarAnything > General Settings > Advanced.
Filter Panels/Filter Sets
Filter panels and filter sets enable the calendar user to see only records in which they are interested during any given calendar use session. Managers and executives use filters to slice and dice data on a calendar view.
Administrators can specify which fields should be included in the Filter Panel and also save a collection of specific filters as a Filter Set.
The Filter Panel allows you to use predefined criteria while using a calendar without having to change the initial calendar setup.You can then save these predefined settings as a Filter Set.
Follow these steps to ensure a Filter Panel and any Filter Sets on your calendars:
- Click the CalendarAnything gear icon to go to Settings.
- Under General Settings, select Advanced.
- Find and select the Display Filter Panel checkbox and the Display Filter Sets checkbox.
- Click Save.
Of course, there must be filters configured before they can be displayed in the filter panel. Follow these steps to ensure filters are configured for your calendars.
- On the Settings menu, click Admin Settings.
- Click Filtering.
- On the Filtering page, verify that any existing filters are sufficient.
- To add filters:
- Select a search object from the Search Object field list.
- Move fields from the Available panel to the Selected panel as needed.
- Click Save.
The Filter Panel displays the filter fields configured in Settings. Users can then save a subset of filter fields that they used by creating a Filter Set. Administrators can make Filter Sets global for everyone, or individual users can define their own.
Global Filter Sets can be created by users with ModifyAllData permissions. Global filter sets should be available to all users (CA_UserSettings sharing should be set to Public Read/Write). Global filter sets can be cloned by any user and saved as a user-specific filter set.
Filter Sets can be created by any user. These filter sets will be visible only to the user who created them. They will be stored as a filter set record in CA_UserSettings. The user can Edit, Clone, Delete, and rename the Filter Set or make it the default. Whenever a user loads or refreshes the page, they’ll see the default filter set. This does not include “calendar refresh” using the Refresh button. To change the default setting, click Remove as Default in the right-click dialog If that option is selected, it will remove that record and future page loads/refreshes will not enable that filter set. |
