Company Calendar for Jira v 3.2.x: Creating and Editing Events, Planning Mode
Create and edit events for sources that have type "Business trips", "Meetings", "Sick days", "Vacations and leaves" or custom event types
To create a new event, a user can just click on appropriate day or drag a time frame, in a calendar, if day or week mode are opened in time view . As result, the "Create Event" dialog is shown.
First thing, a user has to select the value for "Events Source" and then, click "Select".
Some event types require a user to enter users, project or issue. Please make sure to fill in all the required fields.
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 the 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.
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 Single date, "Due date".
When creating an event based on the source above, a user shall fill in the Due date field.
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.
Here, when creating an event based on the source above, a user shall fill in two fields that respond for date time picker.
Please note:
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.
Planning Mode
Now, a user can work with the Jira dates based issues, in a planning mode . To start, a user has to click 'Current calendar configuration' button, located at the top left corner of the screen. Then, in appeared sub-menu, a user has to click 'Planning'.
In a planning mode, a user has to select the event source, date or range. Also, a user can apply a filter for the issues or uncheck the checkbox "Show unplanned only".
Here, a user can simply drag the issues from the planning panel into a calendar.
Please note that planning mode doesn't work in a multiple calendar view.
