Color Coding Planned Calls in My Schedule
- Browser (Classic)
- iPad
- Windows Tablet
To customize and organize their calendars, users can change the sidebar (iPad only) or main colors of planned calls from the default teal color to any one of 25 predefined colors.
For example, when planning calls, Sarah Jones wants to indicate whether a planned call represents a confirmed appointment or a time slot during which she intends to drop by the HCP’s office. Using color coding, she changes the color for confirmed calls to yellow. When she reviews her schedule later in the week, Sarah sees at a glance that her call to Dr. Ackerman is a confirmed call. She leaves time to arrive at Dr. Ackerman’s office early, to ensure she is on time for their meeting.
Ensure initial configuration is complete to use this functionality.
Selecting Colors for Planned Calls
To change the display color for a planned call:
- Select a call from My Schedule’s Week View or Map View (for Browser (Classic) and Windows Tablet users, right-click the call).
- Select the Status field to display the Color Picker.
- Select a color from the grid.
Selecting a color in the color palette changes the color for the entry. The selected color is stored in the Color_vod field on the Call2_vod object.
To close the pop-up without changing the entry color, select anywhere outside the pop-up.
Users should not add colors to or remove colors from the Color Picker.

Platform Specific Details
iPad
For iPad users, selecting a color changes the entry’s sidebar color, rather than changing the entire entry’s color.
Using the Sidebar option, users can select custom colors for future calls in Planned status. Changing the sidebar color is not available for saved or submitted calls.
Windows Tablet
Selecting the Clear button clears the Color_vod field so the entry displays with the default color for planned calls. The Clear caption is defined by the MENU_COLOR_CLEAR;;TABLET Veeva Message.
