Why are the contacts different colors?
The color coding in your contact list is a visual shorthand to help you quickly identify the status and health of your user database.
When viewing your Contacts tab, names will appear in one of three colors:
Black: Active Users
-
Meaning: This person has successfully logged into the online scheduler at least once and has set up or "taken ownership" of their account.
-
Status: These are standard, verified records.
Blue: Unverified/Pre-loaded Users
-
Meaning: This contact was likely added by an administrator or imported from a list, but the person has not yet logged in.
-
Status: The account is waiting for the user to access it for the first time and set their password.
Red: Problem Accounts (Action Required)
-
Meaning: This indicates a data conflict that needs your attention.
-
Most Common Cause: The email address associated with this contact is a duplicate. The system flags these in red because duplicate emails can cause login errors or lead to appointments being linked to the wrong person.
-
How to Fix: Search for the email address in your contacts. You will likely see two entries. Review the information and delete the incorrect or duplicate record to clear the red flag.
