Event Types are Event categories. Examples would be class, birthday, anniversary, concert, etc. To add Event Types, go to EDIT | EVENT TYPES. If you do not see Event Types listed on the menu dropdown, then you do not have the privilege to edit this. Contact your system administrator.
Once you select Event Types from the menu, you can edit an Event Type by clicking on the pencil icon to the left of the name. You can also add an Event Type by clicking on the Add Type button at the bottom of the list.
Remember that for Users to be able to assign Event Types to an Event, they must have View and Use permissions for that Event Type.
If you have the Global configuration setting Item styles are linked to event types set to yes, then additional fields will be present to let you control the colors and fonts for events of this type. For information on the colors and font options, refer to Item Style Setup.
