Changing your calendar appointment/avatar colour

How to edit the colour of your diary appointments and the colour of your circled avatar containing your initials.

When you first logon to VIA, you will notice your user account will display your initials within a coloured circle in the top left-hand tile on the dashboard.

This little avatar will appear on your dashboard, as well as throughout various other sections of VIA whereby you appear, such as the Users tab.

This colour is also used whenever you add appointments to your diary. Different user accounts will have different colours assigned to them to easily distinguish different staff members calendar appointments.

The colour of your Avatar and Calendar appointments is pre set by VIA when your user account is first created. However, you can also customise it to a colour of your choice in case of a colour clash, or just for personal preference.

To change your colour:

Login to VIA.
On the dashboard, go to your tile (the top left tile titled with your name) and click the coloured avatar containing your initials.
This will open a new tab with the details of your user account. You will see a field called Avatar Color. You can either enter a hex code, or simply click the coloured square on the right hand side to manually select your new colour from the colour picker.
Once you are happy, click the Save button. Your avatar colour will now be updated.
