Color-coding Exchange Calendar Categories

Virto Calendar web part allows you to color-code Exchange calendar events according to their categories from Exchange. This feature is available for Virto calendars for SharePoint 2010, 2013 and 2016.

For example, I need to add the category named “Blue categorie” to Virto calendar.

Open “Advanced settings” of Exchange calendar data source, select “Category” field and click “Add new field value and color”.

Then type in the name of required category from Exchange (names must be identical).

Select a color for this category, it may match exactly the color from Exchange.
