The interaction between To Do, Jira and Outlook
Start the sync
Establish the sync with Jira and To Do. Only then you can add tasks vice versa.
Start simple (as shown) or advanced and have business dates from Jira and personal ones all available in your To Do lists.
Advanced mode
Configure the sync in more detail, if required.
E.g. only sync those issues with a critical due date in your “Priority” list in To Do to prioritize them.
Configure sync options
When setting up the sync in the advanced mode you can define the sync in more detail.
Compared to the simple mode where you can only answer with yes or no.
Add personal to dos
In a meeting to an issue and want to add personal information to it?
Open To Do and add one or more personal to do’s and sync them individually in a chosen To Do list.
Access all to dos in To Do
Just after adding personal to dos you’ll get them synced in your chosen To Do list.
Jump to your Jira issue directly from To Do if required.
The benefit with Outlook
When having synced all your to do’s and Jira issues, go to Outlook and open To Do.
All to dos which are added to “My day” are now shown in a separate sidebar.
Add them to your calendar via drag & drop to block time for them.
Deactivate the sync
If you have new criteria for your sync or if you just want to deactivate the sync again, click on the red button in your project settings.
