Overview
How to get here...
- Click the Categories command on the Tools menu.
- Click the "..." button in the Category field of the Event Editor or Contact Editor.
- Double-click a category name on the Categories tab of the Calendar Items area of the main window, or right-click the category name and select the "Category Properties" command.
Why upgrade to Pro?
- The Pro version allows creation of tasks, which like events, can be associated with the defined categories and displayed with the corresponding category color.
Events can be assigned to categories, and use the associated category appearance when the Categories tab in the Calendar Items List is active, or when the "Color Events Using" option in the View menu is set to show category colors. The Category Editor allows categories to be created, renamed, or deleted. It also allows category colors to be modified. This window can be accessed by clicking the "..." button in the Categories input field on the Event Editor. It can also be accessed from the Tools menu.
Category List
The category list shows all the currently defined category names. By default, all categories will be colored white and gray. Appearances can be assigned to categories to help differentiate categories, or draw attention to events associated with a particular category, when the Calendar View is configured to show colors based on category.
Adding Categories
A category can be added by clicking the "Add" button. A new category will be inserted in the list and the "Category name" field activated to allow naming of the new category. If the specified name is already used for another category, a message will be displayed.
Deleting Categories
Any category except the "Default" category can be deleted. To delete a category, click its name in the list and then click the Delete button. If the deleted category is associated with any events, the association will be removed. Categories can also be deleted by pressing the Delete key.
Modifying Existing Categories
An existing category can be renamed or its appearance changed. To do this, click the category in the list. Next, enter the new category name or desired appearance using the appearance editor. The only category that cannot be renamed is the "Default" category.
