Your Kitomba Calendar lets you see a lot of information at a glance by using different colours as a way to communicate information about the appointments booked for the day.
You can set your appointment colours to tell you:
- what status the appointment is
- what service is booked
- which room or equipment is booked for the appointment
Calendar colours
1. Go to the Admin tab and select Preferences on the left.
2. Select the colour preference from the Appointment colours based on drop down list. You can select from status colours, room and equipment colours and service colours.
3. Select Save.
Choose the best way for your business by reviewing the options below.
Appointment status example
The appointment colours reflect the appointment’s status.
Appointment status is used to indicate at what stage an appointment is at (e.g. booked, customer has arrived, appointment completed etc).
Service colours example
The appointment colours are showing what services are booked. Kitomba recommends avoiding using this setting if you regularly book rooms or equipment for your appointments, as the two colours on the same appointment can be confusing to look at.
The colours of the appointment correspond to the display colour set on the service card.
To change the colours of the services
1. Go to the Cards tab and select Manage Services.
2. Select the service and change the display colour shown below.
3. Select Save.
The coloured strips on the left hand side of each appointment represent what room or equipment is booked for that appointment. If there is no colour strip, then there is no room or equipment booked.
A white strip with a red question mark indicates that the appointment is for a service that requires a room or equipment but does not have one booked.
Rooms and equipment colours
The colours of the appointments in this example are based on the rooms and equipment that are booked for the appointment time.
The appointment status and service are not indicated by any colours in this scenario. The colours indicate which room or equipment has been booked.

Hi,how do I change the colours of the appointments?
Hi Jenna, The appointment colours default to status colours. You can change the colours of the appointments by going to Preferences in the Admin tab. Halfway down the page is the "the Appointment colours based on:" line. From the options select "service colours" and Save. Then go to the cards tab and change the colour for each service in the display colour field. You need to do this for each service.
