The new version of Outlook Calendars for Confluence comes with a new UI and new features.
...
We developed an UI that makes calendaring more intuitive again. Have all your relevant Jira and Outlook dates available right at a glance. Quickly add new calendars via the gearwheel next to “Calendars” and choose from our calendar templates via the gearwheel next to “Calendars”.
...
Choose a calendar template
...
Based on our new UI standards, we now offer an edit screen (when adding a new calendar) which makes it easier for you to pick and choose the right calendar template in the first place. Decide if you want to insert Outlook calendars or Jira dates - or even both. Go ahead!
...
While working on on the new release, we also decided to adapt our view naming to make it easier to . It is clearer now to decide on the right layout . Here is a table to let you know when providing calendar dates (for your team). Have a look on what changed:
Now | Then |
|---|---|
List view | List view |
Calendar view | Agenda view |
available in calendar view | Resource view |
Timeline view | Scheduler view |
...
Insert a current user’s Outlook calendar
...
Insert a “Current user’s calendar” and enable any team member to also see their own personal data alongside along with any other project-related data already shared when accessing the Confluence page.
...
Insert a calendar name e.g. “Current user’s calendar”Jira User”, set the respective JQL filter “assignee = currentuser()” and any team member accessing the Confluence page will also see their own personal Jira dates (e.g. current issues with upcoming due date) together with project-related dates already shared.
Coming soon: There will be a separate button in our edit screen (see above) soon to take this action. There will be no need to insert complicated challenging JQL filters - which might especially helpful for our non-power users 
.
...
Even decide if, if for example, the respective Jira tickets/issues for that specific user should be displayed based on their due date. This will make it easier to get a good overview of the most relevant and urgent Jira tickets to be worked on.
...
Manage and adapt the calendar view in “General settings”. We recommend to now limit your view scope to today (if you want to book your meeting room at some point today) and turn on the “split resource” “side-by-side view” screen.
Here you go!
