Create and Manage Custom Events

Custom Events allow you to schedule activities that are not directly linked to Jira issue dates or worklogs. They can be used for meetings, vacations, business trips, planning activities, and administrator-defined event types.

Unlike Jira Date Events, Custom Events are managed entirely within Calendar while still supporting rich editing, assignment, and scheduling capabilities.

This page explains how to create, edit, copy, and delete Custom Events.

What You Can Create

Depending on your calendar configuration, Custom Events may include:

• Meetings

• Vacations

• Business Trips

• Planning Events

• Sick Leave

• Custom-defined event types

Some event types require additional information, such as event participants, Jira projects, or Jira issues.
