# Adding a New Event Type

## Adding an Event Type

This guide will cover how to add custom Event Types to use on your calendar within Care Control Windows.

## 1

In the Administration of Care Control Windows, navigate to the **Events**tool, which can be found under the **Communication** tab.

## 2

A new window will open. Here, a list of the current event types on your system will be displayed.

To add a new one, simply **scroll** to the bottom of the list.

## 3

There will be a blank row at the bottom. Begin by typing in the **name** of the event type, before pressing the **Event Colour** box next to it.

From this window, you can also **Archive** the event type (remove it from the list when creating an event), as well as **Exclude** from **Calendar**, which means that events of this type will now show on the calendar.

## 4

Choose a colour from the options displayed. This is the colour which will be displayed on your calendar for this event type.

## 5

To save, simply close the colour selection window and then the events type window. You will receive a confirmation message that your records have been saved.
