Topics

To enable calendar view for your package and version click on “Calendar” in top navigation bar

We outline two months - current and next one. To scroll into the future or past use left/right arrows in navigation section of the view.

By clicking on “This month“ you will be scrolled to current + next month.

As you can see we also flexible in configuration to start weeks from Monday or Sunday supporting different cultures and geo locations.

The View

All versions and packages from the board that have Release Date specified will be shown on the Calendar view.

  • versions are shown Green

  • packages are Blue (thus we are consistent with other view through out the App)

Simple search is available while more advanced filtering is coming shortly.

By clicking on any version or package you will navigate to standard version/package details screen with

  • Summary

  • Milestones

  • Issues

  • and Commits

Milestones

Check out the following section of documentation - Intermediate Milestones "on the way"

Search and advanced filtering

Users can search for versions and package. Thus the calendar view will be adjusted according to search results as shown in example below:

In addition to full text search some advanced filtering is available as well, namely:

  • Tags to filter by Version/Package tags

  • Archived/Unarchived

  • Show delayed only

  • Columns representing status (or steps in workflow) for versions and packages

  • Filter by Projects

  • Filter by Project Leads

  • FIlter by version specific and package specific Custom Properties

Export (.ics snapshot or permanent link)

There are couple of ways to export Release Calendar and share with your stakeholders, namely:

  • Dashboard Gadget (see the section below)

  • Import Gadget into Confluence

  • Export .ics snapshot and import in your calendar tools (like Outlook, Google Calendar, etc..)

  • Share a permanent link to your real-time calendar with all the filters saved

Share Calendar via Permanent Link

As outlined above we generate a permanent link that you can use to share your real time release calendar with your stakeholders via 3rd party tools. The link encodes all the filters you selected and all the updates happening to versions, packages and their milestones will be automatically replicated in your 3rd party tool.

Security considerations: Obviously to access this permanent link / release calendar from 3rd party systems you need to perform authorization. We support Basic and Token (prefered) based authorization. Therefore, your 3rd party tool should be able to provide such. Below we will show 2 examples how to do with Postman and Confluence.
