Appointments & calendar

Colour-coding the calendar

Give each practitioner a colour so a multi-person diary is readable at a glance.

In a clinic with more than one practitioner, a single-colour diary is hard to read. Atlacare colour-codes the calendar by practitioner, so you can see whose appointment is whose at a glance.

Set a practitioner's colour

Each practitioner has their own colour. It shows on their appointments across the calendar — the shared team view, the day view, and the week view — so a busy diary stays legible.

Reading the calendar

  • By person — each practitioner's blocks are their colour, so overlapping schedules are easy to untangle.
  • By status — appointment states (booked, completed, cancelled, no-show) are also distinguished, so you can spot a no-show or an open slot quickly.

In a solo practice

If you're a single practitioner, colour-coding matters less day to day, but it still applies once you add a second practitioner or a locum — their appointments arrive in their own colour automatically.


Colour is a visual aid only — it never changes who can see or book an appointment; that's governed by roles and working hours.
