Resource settings allow you to add or remove resources (users, assets, or crews)  from your calendar, select colors for each resource, and set the order in which resources are displayed in your calendar.

Resources are visible within the following calendar views: Time > Week by Resource  Time > Day by Resource  List > Week by Resource  List > Day by Resource  Resource > Month, Week or Day.  See Calendar Views for images of these views.

You can change the background, border, or text color of schedules for each resource in your calendar.

What is a schedule?

Scheduling is the process of adding tasks, timesheet overheads, and ad-hoc events to various dates, times, and resources on the calendar. A schedule is represented by a colored tile on the calendar. The image below shows a number of schedules (the blue tiles). See Scheduling for more information.

 

 

1. Click the (three dots) icon to access the calendar settings.
2. Click the Colours sub-section.
3. In the Colour Schedule By dropdown, select Resources.
4. Click Save.
5. Click the (two people) icon. You'll notice that each resource now has three boxes to the right:
   1. To change the background color, click the Background box.

   3. To change the text color, click the Text box.

      In this image, the dark purple that forms the top and edges of the tile is the Border, the palest mauve is the Background, and the Text color has been left as white. The yellow background to the 'Meeting: Timesheet' entry is AroFlo's default color for timesheet entries. To change this default color, see Colour Settings.
