In this movie I'm going to show you how to create and apply categories to items in your inbox.…But you can use these same steps to apply categories to items in your…calendar or contacts list, in tasks or in any other email folder here in Outlook Web Access.…So the Category button on a message is this little button right here.…If I open a message, I actually see a categories dropdown but I can access that…right here as well; I simply click and choose a category.…
OWA comes up with six categories baked in and I don't particularly want to use…any of them unless I want to carry around a little card that says, blue equals…planning, and green equals finance.…I want to have categories that have names that are meaningful for me and my organization.…So the first thing I'm going to do is go manage my categories; and I want to…create a new category called Planning.…And I'm going to use blue for that, this is a fine blue.…There are twenty five colors here, but unless you are going to have them right…next to each other, it's not twenty five valid individual choices.…
