Insert a current user’s Outlook calendar
...
Insert a “Current “Current user’s calendar” calendar” and enable any team member to also see their own personal data along with any other project-related data already shared when accessing the Confluence page.
This makes it easier for your team members to individually plan and manage their working days, when having because all relevant information right in one place. is right there where they work.
Additionally, decide on dedicated calendar permissions when sharing a “Current user’s calendar”.
...
So far, you can also insert all relevant Jira dates of any team member via our edit screena “Current User’s Jira dates”. This might be especially helpful for all our Jira power users who are in charge to keep an eye on current (Jira) milestones.
Insert a calendar name e.g. “Current “Current Jira User”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) 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 challenging JQL filters - which might especially helpful for our non-power users |

...
Even decide if, for example, the Jira tickets/issues for that a specific user should be displayed based on their due date. This will make it easier for your team members to get a good overview of the most relevant and urgent Jira tickets to be worked on.
...
This setting will simplify working with calendars in Confluence for your team. Team members - independently of their Microsoft 365 log-in , - can still access and work with the calendar dates shared in Confluence.
