Assign Jira Tasks & Custom Events

When you have your teams created, and users assigned to the required roles and positions, you are ready to start planning actual Jira tasks.

Assign Jira Tasks

The whole concept behind scheduling tasks in ActivityTimeline is fairly straightforward, you just take the task from Issue Panel and drag’n’drop it to the user’s timeline, where you can then re-size it or even split it between users or dates.

If you followed our advice in the previous section of this guide, you also have the option to assign tasks not only via drag’n’drop, but by going to your Jira and specifying Start/End dates there:

For people who use Scrum a lot and are not really interested in scheduling individual tasks, the system will read Start/End dates of the sprint and schedule tasks assigned to a user based on these days:

Custom Events

As for local events, you can create them simply by selecting a specific period on the calendar and choosing which event to create. You can check the details about our Timeline Events here.

When you unschedule a local event from the user, it disappears, as there is no backlog for events at the moment.

If you are done with this part you now have options to integrate with Tempo Timesheets to sync the worklogs from there (only necessary for Jira Cloud): Tempo Cloud Integration.

Alternatively, you can continue your journey with ActivityTimeline by exploring our other modules: Workspace, Timesheets and Reports
