Event "Type" Field

I'm just wondering aloud here, should there be a "Type" field in the Events table of SeedCode Complete? I was thinking it would be nice to color code my events by type. For example, a "Performance" might be blue. An "Interview" might be yellow. A "Seminar" might be pink.

I see how I can color code by "Status"... should I use Status as "Type"? I was also thinking I might add a bunch of other types... and to be honest, I like having "Confirmed, Canceled, and Pending" in Status, so keeping them separate seems logical to me.

I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious in my thought process here, so before I go adding a "Type" field I thought I'd ask the question here. Thanks in advance!

By the way, I can't say enough about how awesome the new SeedCode Complete is. Holy cow.

Thanks Charlie! I'd suggest using the status field that is there for whatever you want to color code by (type in your case). Then add a new field for any other attribute (like "status"). Just less to change that way.

Cool, thanks
