This article will guide you how to set up custom grouping for calendar.

Why Need to Set up Custom Grouping for Calendar:

Custom Grouping on calendar will enable you to group events based on event titles that have a specific pattern. This is very useful especially when you have too many checkboxes and categories in your calendar.

Warning:

  • If you activate this feature, it will cause a new name checkbox and colors to be generated for the new group events. So if you have any customs labels or colors, you will need to redo them after enabling the custom grouping.
  • Only one separator per calendar is allowed.

Requirements:
