In Collabox, you can use color codes called families (or categories) to help you find your projects, appointments and tasks. It is up to you to associate a color with a family description.

Configure families (categories)

First go to your main menu and select “Calendar”.

Then click on “Categories (Families)” in the left menu.

You will arrive on the page Configuration of calendar categories (Families). Category colors are determined by default. However, if you want to change them, you can click on the white boxes under the section Color . Next, name the categories and then determine if these are billable hours or not. Push the button Record at the bottom of the page to finalize the changes.

Note: The box Non-billable is mainly used to view, in the tab Listing of the calendar, the total of the hours billed and those that are not billed.

Your families, once created, will be found in the following three forms: projects, appointments and tasks. If, for example, you create a project and assign it the category In progress , green in color, your project will be displayed in green in the calendar. The same goes for appointments and tasks.

The project will appear in your calendar as follows:

With families, you will find more quickly what you are looking for and better visualize your different occupations. They will become a particularly pleasant tool to use.

Displaying the contents of the agenda

By Agenda, Calendar, Families

Appointment : Agenda content

The agenda content can now be shown or hidden, depending on your personal preferences. Thus, you can opt for a very detailed or rather refined visual. The choice is yours!


When you take notes in your appointment form, the content is displayed in your appointments. But, if you don’t want them to be displayed, you just have to uncheck the function : Content display and voilà, the visual of your agenda will automatically be less heavy.

Go ahead, take some notes now!

Access the calendar

First, go to the Calendar module.

To have the content display functionality, select the “Week” or “Day” tab. The “Month” tab does not allow this option.

Then check the box for displaying the contents of the appointments if you wish.

Here is the visual of the content of your appointments in detailed version.
