ActivityTimeline allows users to mark Jira issues and ActivityTimeline events with different colors on the Planner timeline.
Color coding helps users visually highlight important work, distinguish between different types of tasks, and quickly identify items that require attention.
Changing the Color of an Issue or Event
To change the color of a Jira issue or ActivityTimeline event:
-
Click the issue or event on the Planner timeline.
-
Select the desired color from the available color options.
ActivityTimeline provides a standard palette of 12 colors.
Please note that this color set is predefined and cannot be customized.
Using Colors for Prioritization
Administrators can also create Issue Customization rules to apply specific colors automatically based on issue attributes.
For example, tasks with the highest priority can always be displayed in a specific color on the Planner timeline.
To configure this, go to:
Configuration → Issues → Issue Customization
Default Issue Color
Administrators can also define the default color used for Jira issues on the timeline.
To change the default issue color, go to:
Configuration → Timeline Panel → Default Color for Issues
This setting is available only to users with administrator permissions.
