Categorizing on a Shared Calendar in Outlook/Exchange 2007

C

We utilize our Microsoft outlook calendar to track work that is being done by
a field Technician. When the Technician calls in and reports the status on
one of the items assigned to them, the person taking the call wants to change
the Categorization of that item in the shared calendar. For instance, if
there was a problem with an assignment, the color is changed to Red. The
Supervisor then checks the shared calendar on occasion to see if there are
any red items that require their attention. THey all show up in light Blue
and regardless of the color that anyone person changes a color to, the rest
can not see the color change.

This appears to be a departure from Office 2003, because we were able to use
this functionlaity in that version of office. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -

The colors are locally stored, so everyone might see the same category with
his own color.

You can either set all the colors on every computer manually or use Category
Manager Enterprise to deploy the colors - please see the link in my
signature.
