Displaying Field Color

You can configure each display field to appear in a specified color and change the color dynamically. Use the Display Field Colors applet user property to configure the colors of the display fields. For information about this user property, see User Properties for Calendar Fields, Colors, Drilldowns, and ToolTips.

For example, the eEvents Event Calendar Applet has a value of Name for the Display Fields user property and a value of Event Type Color for the Display Field Colors user property. In the eEvents Event business component, Event Type Color has the following calculated field value:

IIF ([Event Type Color1] IS NOT NULL,[Event Type Color1],[Event Type Color2])

• Event Type Color1 has the following calculated field value:

  IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Seminar","#3366CC",IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Restricted", 
  "#FF6633",IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Fundraiser","#339933",IIF ([Event Type 
  LIC]="Trade Show","#9900CC",IIF ([Event Type LIC]="Benefit","#7AB8F6",""))))) 
  

• Event Type Color2 has the following calculated field value:

  IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Auction","#B2E5B2",IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Conference", 
  "#CC66FF",IIF ([Event Type LIC] = "Cultural","#FF0066",IIF ([Event Type 
  LIC]="Presentation","#9999FF",IIF ([Event Type 
  LIC]="Recreation","#FF6633","#CC9933")))))
  

You can create different types of events (for example, conference events and cultural events) in the Events view of the Events screen, and then navigate to the Calendar view of the Events screen to see the events in the appropriate colors in the eEvents Event Calendar Applet.
