Custom Event Types
Create Channel-specific Calendar Event Types and adjust colors for the default event types.
Event types make calendars scannable. Bluprint includes default types like Filming, Release, Editing, Planning, Deadline, Review, and Reminder, and each Channel can add custom types for its own workflow.
Custom event types are useful for work your team repeats often:
- Sponsor Review
- Thumbnail Review
- Guest Recording
- Livestream
- Voiceover
- Brand Approval
Manage Event Types
Open Manage Fields in this Channel, then go to Calendar Event Types.

This page lets you:
- Change colors for default event types.
- Create custom event types for the Channel.
- Edit or delete existing custom event types.
Create a Custom Event Type
Select New Custom Event Type, then choose a name, color, and icon.

Custom event types are Channel-scoped. A custom type created in one Channel does not automatically appear in another Channel.
Create One From the Event Window
You can also create a custom event type while scheduling an event. Open the Event Type dropdown and choose New Event Type.

Common Mistakes
Creating custom types for one-off events
Use custom types for repeated categories. A one-off event can usually use a default type plus a clear title.
Using colors that look too similar
Event colors are scanning tools. Pick colors that are easy to distinguish in Month and Week layouts.
