Calendar - add event lists allowing to categorize events
Currently with Tasks (and Discussions) I can go to the top right of the page, click on the gear (Settings) icon, then click on "Manage Task Groups" to create/edit/delete/order Task Groups. It would be great to have the same capability on the Calendar app for Events.
The "Manage Event Groups" feature would work exactly the same as the "Manage Task Groups" feature with the same UI layout and capabilities.
- [bonus feature]: the ability to color code Event Groups, even if limited to 8-10 colors.
The features that would then be usable in the Calendar view:
1) When you create a new Event (or edit an existing Event) you have one additional field in the pop-up box: Event Group. Here you can choose an existing Event Group, or click the small green "+" to create a new Event Group.
2) The "Filter By" drop-down has an additional capability to filter by existing Event Groups.
3) [bonus feature] If the color-coding of Event Groups is implemented, have that color be used for Events when viewed in the Calendar. For example: I have an Event Group called "Marketing" for all of my marketing events, and I've colored that Event Group blue. Now on the calendar the font (not the dot) for events categorized in the "Marketing" group is also blue. (Alternatively -- and perhaps better? -- you could shade the background of the Event in the Calendar view by the color of the Event Group; this is how Outlook does it.)
