How to use color-coding across two dimensions

Perhaps you use calendar color-coding for one dimension (e.g. people), and you need a way to visually distinguish another dimension (e.g. task type, or location).

Here are methods to color-code across two dimensions with Teamup. 

Assign the event to two calendars

• Create one set of calendars for the first dimension (e.g. team members).
• Create another set of calendars for the second dimension (e.g. location).
• When you create an event, assign to the appropriate calendar for each dimension. 
• The event will be striped with the colors of both calendars, like this: 

Use color blocks in a custom field

If you don't want to use multiple calendars, or don't like the striping effect, here's an alternative method:

• Create sub-calendars as needed for the first dimension (e.g. team members).
• Add a custom field (choice) with unicode color blocks as the options for the second dimension (e.g. task type).  
• Make the field required.
• Make the field contents visible in the event title. 

Now you can use the color-coded calendars for team members, and the color-coded custom field for task types. 

Tip: customize the About box (in the left sidebar) to show a color-code reference. 

Color-code without using calendar colors

The unicode color blocks work well if you want a more minimal look but still need to color-code some aspect. Or, if you want color-coding for one dimension but not on the calendars themselves.

• Create sub-calendars as needed for the first dimension (e.g. team members). Make all these calendars the same color or similar shades. 
• Add a custom field (choice) with unicode color blocks as the options for the second dimension (e.g. task type).  
• Make the field required.
• Make the field contents visible in the event title.
