The new version of Outlook Calendars for Confluence comes with a new UI and new features. For Confluence Cloud this version is available since April 2021, for Confluence Server and Data Center it’s available since March 2022.
...
While working on on the new release, we also decided to adapt our naming for our calendar layouts. It is clearer now to decide on the right layout when sharing calendar dates with 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 current user’s calendars: Outlook & Jira calendar
...
The same works with current user’s Jira dates, for example Jira issues. Pick the calendar template “JQL issues”, set the respective filter “assignee = currentuser()” and any team member accessing the Confluence page will see their personal Jira issues. Either way, set calendar permissions, if required.
...
...
Coming soon: A separate calendar template in our edit screen to avoid complex JQL filters.
...
Even decide if, for example, the Jira tickets/issues for 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.
...
Manage and adapt the calendar view in “General settings”. We recommend to limit your view scope to today (if you want to book your meeting room at some point today) and turn on the “Split resource” view (side-by-side view).
Here you go!
