How to colour-code your calendar

A busy calendar is easier to read at a glance when different kinds of event have different colours: services in one colour, youth in another, room hire in a third. In Hubb, colour is set per group, so every event in a group shares its colour.

Setting a group’s calendar colour

1. Log in to your web office and select the group whose events you want to colour.
2. Open the Events tab and view the calendar by month.
3. In the calendar header, just to the left of the ‘Show:’ dropdown, click the ‘Colour:’ picker and choose a colour.
4. Hubb confirms with ‘This will update the colour of all events in this group on your website calendar.’ Tick ‘Also apply this colour to all sub-groups’ if you want their events to match.
5. Confirm. Events in this group now show in that colour on your website calendar.

Good to know

• A small, consistent palette reads best: one colour per ministry area beats a rainbow of near-identical shades.
• In the web office calendar, events belonging to your current group show in bold, and clicking an event from another group moves you to that group.
• Colour is a group setting rather than a per-event one, which is another good reason to keep each event in the group it belongs to.
