Hi,

At my company we have switched to the new Outlook version.
I am now trying to find a way to categorize the outlook calendar in similar way as in previous version. Then I could add contitional formatting on the categories (person, workd ertc) and get a good overview in my calendar.

I can not find this functionality anynore

It is not sufficient to right klick on a meeting and change category manually.

Greatful if you can support in this question, it really helps my efficiency.

Best Regards Karin

    I am a project manager and use the formatting on my calendar so I can see which meetings are for which projects. This is one of the most useful features in the Outlook for project managers and others that have a lot of meetings and need a way to organize them . I strongly urge Microsoft not force a cut over to the new Outlook until this feature is available.

    Yes, allowing rules for conditional formatting of calendar entries is imperative.

    "Applies To Outlook for Microsoft 365 Outlook 2024 Outlook 2021 Outlook 2019 Outlook 2016 Outlook 2013"

    It needs an update to show that this is currently unavailable, so people don't spend so much time SEARCHING FOR IT

    I currently use this feature in the current Outlook but it is not available in the "New Outlook" At least not when I tried it a few weeks ago. Please confirm that this option has been added to the new Outlook.

    Thanks
