Insight Calendar Categories
HI VI_Migration, Categories applied to focus time are not used for insights. They are not used for teams status and do not control any behaviors other than categorizing the block with a certain color. A user can apply their own category to any focus block or any Outlook calendar event as they desire.
On a separate note we are actually in the process of deprecating automatically applied categories to focus blocks. They have often times led to user confusion. In the future the focus block will be applied without a specific category but the user will still be free to choose the category
I agree with Stephenrun on this topic. I like the visual differentiation on my already packed calendar. In fact, I would like to set the category and reminder of my choice in Viva for the appt/event type.
