Event | Primary Category for Events & Calendar Labels

How to can specify which event category on an event is the primary category

Primary Category Dropdown Setting for Category Selection for Events & Calendar Labels

When selecting more than one category, this setting will allow the user to determine which category is to be considered the primary.  This will determine which event category color appears first in line on event on the internal eSPACE calendar as well as the public calendar display of event colors (if turned on).  

  • When only one category is selected, the system will assume that one category is the primary category.

  • If an event category is not a required field for your account settings, the logic will only be considered if you select an event category.

  • The system will default to the first category selected if the user does not select a primary category 

As for the event background color on the internal eSPACE calendar, that will continue to be based on the overall event status.  Read more in this article: Internal Calendar: Understanding Event Status
