Here's how to choose what the colors on your appointments show: the type of activity, the team member doing it, or how far along it is. Your choice follows your account, so it's the same on all your phones and tablets and in the web app.
Choose in the app
Tap the menu button on Home. On iPad, it's in the sidebar.
Scroll down and tap Your app settings, then Appointment settings.
Under Appointment colors, choose Activity type, Team member or Status.
It's saved as soon as you tap it.
Choose in the web app
Go to Settings and choose Color under Appointments. Then choose By service type, By team member or By status.
What each one shows
Activity type: each kind of activity has its own color, like walks in one color and drop-ins in another. This is the setting to start with.
Team member: each appointment takes the color of the team member doing it. To pick someone's color, open their profile in Menu > Team and choose an Appointment color. Anyone without one gets a color picked for them.
Status: green for completed, yellow for in progress and purple for scheduled. Busy and holiday time keep their own colors.
Good to know
It's yours alone. Each person on your team chooses their own.
In the web app, only admins and sub-admins can change it.
The other settings on Appointment settings, like Show pet birthdays, are set on each device.
Light and dark mode aren't part of this either. They're set on each device in Your app settings > Appearance.
