# Calendar and map colors

Scheduling · Web and mobile · 3 min read · Updated October 16, 2026

**Set up to three color rules so you can read the schedule at a glance: by town, frequency, visit type, team, first visit or your own tags. Filter the schedule and the day map by color.**

When the schedule is full, colors help you see the day at a glance: which
visits are in which town, which are deep cleans, which customers are new.
Calendar colors are available on **Starter, Pro and Business**.

## Set up your colors

1. Open **Settings**, then **Advanced**, then **Calendar links**.
2. In **Calendar colors**, select **Add rule**. You can add up to three.
3. Choose what the rule colors by: **City or town**, **Frequency**, **Visit
   type**, **Team**, **First visit** or **Tag**.
4. Select **Add value** for each one you want to color. Enter the **Value** (for
   example "Springfield"), a **Label**, and pick a **Color**. For **First
   visit**, the value is filled in for you, so just add a label and color. For
   **Team**, pick the team from the list instead of typing a value.
5. Use **Move rule up** and **Move rule down** to set the order.
6. Select **Save colors**.

## Color by team

Choose **Team** in step 3 and every visit takes the color saved on its team,
on the **Schedule** and on the day map. You do not have to add each team by
hand. Set each team's color once, as **Team color** in
[Saved teams](/docs/saved-teams).

To use a different color for one team, select **Add value**, pick the team from
the list, and choose a color. That color wins over the team's saved color for
your calendar and map. Teams you leave out keep their saved color. A team with no saved color is not
colored until you add it here or give it a **Team color**.

The first rule fills the visit with its color. The second and third rules add
small labeled dots, so a visit can show its town color plus a **New** dot and a
visit type dot at the same time. The owner sets the colors, and every office
user sees them.

Colors are hidden from crew unless you tick **Show colors to crew**. Even then,
crew see only the values you added colors for. Other towns, teams, tags and
details stay visible to the office only.

## Read and filter

The same colors appear on the **Schedule** and on the day map. Open **Color
legend and filters** to see what each color means and to show only visits
with one value, such as one town. Visits in a town you have not set up are
grouped under **Unassigned towns**.

**First visit** marks a customer's earliest visit that is booked or done.
Canceled and missed visits do not count, so once the first clean is completed,
later visits are not marked new.

## Tag visits

Open a visit and use **Visit tags** to add your own labels, separated by commas,
such as "keys", "VIP" or "post-construction". Select **Save tags**. Tags are
for your team; they do not change prices, crews or times.

## Good to know

- Filters apply to the dates the schedule has loaded. If the schedule says
  there are more visits than it can show, narrow the dates first.
- If someone else saved colors at the same time, select **Reload colors** and
  try again.
- Colors never change the schedule or send anything to customers.

## On the phone and clearing a filter

In native versions with calendar colors, open **Settings → Calendar colors**.
The owner manages the rules; the schedule and day map use the same saved colors.
On the web schedule, an active color is shown while the legend is closed.
**Clear filters** clears color, person and flexible-team filters together.
Color choices change what you see, not the bookings themselves.
