Create and edit events for sources that have type "Business trips", "Meetings", "Sick days", "Vacations and leaves" or custom event types
| Info |
|---|
| In order to create an event based on a particular source, that source has to be enabled, on the left panel. Otherwise the source will not be visible for selection, in 'Create Event' dialog. If no single source is enabled, on the left panel, the user would not be able to create any event. |
...
To create a new event, user can just click on appropriate day or drag a time slot, in a calendar, if day or week mode is opened, in time view. As result, the "Create Event" dialog is shown.
Starting version 4.3.x, users can see the estimated event duration if editing the end time for the event:
Some event types require a user to enter users, project or issue. Please make sure to fill in all the required fields. All mandatory fields, starting version 4.1x, are marked.
Events created via Company Calendar for Jira can be edited, deleted or copied. In order to do that, a user just has to click the appropriate event and then, click "Edit", "Copy" or "Delete" button:
Creating recurrent events
In order to create recurrent events, a user shall set the desired recurrence in "Create Event" dialog.
The screen below shows what recurrence options a user can select from:
Besides the standard recurrences like weekly or monthly, a user can select bi-weekly or custom recurrence.
If custom recurrence is selected, a user can state the next settings such as repetition frequency, week day selection and the end of recurrence condition.
The created recurrent events can be edited (either by clicking the edit button or by drag-and-drop option), copied and deleted.

Please note: User cannot apply the recurrence to the events that are based on Jira dates sources. |
Create and edit events for "Jira dates" based sources
The event creation for Jira dates based sources would differ, depending on the source configuration.
For instance, a user has created Jira dates source that has a single date picker, "Due date".
After clicking or selecting the time area in a calendar, the "Create Event" dialog appears.
When creating an event based on the source above, a user can either select an existing Jira issue or skip the field Issue completion and let a new Jira issue be created.
Since the project has been set for the source at the time of its configuration, it cannot be changed by a user at the time of the event creation.
Another situation, when a user has configured the Jira dates source that has a range of dates. In our example the date range consists of two date-time pickers.
Once a user has selected a time slot by dragging on calendar, in time view, the values for the start and end times are filled in automatically based on the user's selection.
In case the user creates an event based on date-time range, in the monthly view, the start and end times for the event are-prefilled based on user's settings for "" and "Default Event Minutes". Of course, in both cases, the values for start/end times can be changed if necessary.
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
automatically populated by Jira fields like Created, Updated, Last Viewed, Resolved, etc. are shown as disabled. |
For instance, a user has configured a source with the range of dates, Created-Updated.
As result, when editing the created event, a user will not be able to change the automatically populated by Jira fields, Created and Updated.
Starting version v 5.0.x, the event summary is fully visible event for short events:
For a given day, the events are sorted based on their start time, duration, and/or summary:
Planning Mode
To open a planning mode please click Planning button located on the left panel:
Starting version v 5.0.x, besides planning the events based on Jira dates sources, users can plan the events based on the custom sources as well (e.g. Meetings, Vacations and leaves, etc.)
Thus, the Planning mode has changed its view. Now, there are two tabs, in Planning mode: "Jira" and "Custom-defined".
On the tab "Jira", you'll be able to see the issues for Jira dates sources. The tab "Custom-defined" shows the issues for the custom-defined sources.
To plan the event simply drag-and-drop an issue onto the calendar. If the issue that user drags from the planning panel onto a calendar can be planned based on more than one available sources, the 'Select date or range' (if planning for Jira dates sources) or the "Select source" (if planning for custom-defined sources) dialog appears. Here, a user selects the source.
On both tabs, "Jira" and "Custom-defined", users can apply either Text or JQL filter in order for the relevant issues to be shown on the planning panel.
For instance, on the screenshot below, the JQL filter "status = "To Do" AND priority = High" was applied to the planning panel:
For your convenience, starting version v 5.0.x, the priorities are shown for the issues, on the planning panel.
...
Now, in Planning mode, users are able to delete just created or edited events, including the ones that are based on Jira dates by clicking the Delete button.
| Info |
|---|
Please feel safe to use the Delete button for the events that are based on Jira dates sources. The issue itself wouldn't be deleted but the edited values of its fields would be cleared. |

Planning mode can also be used in project context view. |
