Conditional Formatting to New Outlook Calendar
Please bring Conditional Formatting to the New Outlook Calendar. This is a feature we have in Classic Outlook and something I use regularly to help maintain my organization. I've programmed it to color Work Time separate from Travel Time and various meeting categories so that visually I know a lot about the appointment just by the color.
Hi RyanW- ,
Calendar Conditional formatting in New Outlook is currently in development. No rollout date has been set.
As a workaround, try assigning a category to an event. Also, you can filter on the categories and save up to 3 views.
