Custom Styles

ActivityTimeline allows administrators to configure custom styles for Jira issues and ActivityTimeline events displayed on the Planner timeline.

Custom styles help visually distinguish different types of work and make the timeline easier to read. You can customize the appearance of items by changing their text color, background color, and font style.

Issue Customization

Custom styles for Jira issues can be configured based on issue-related attributes, such as:

  • Project

  • Assignee

  • Priority

  • Status

To create a custom style for Jira issues, go to:

ActivityTimeline Configuration → Issues → Issue Customization → Add New Custom Style

After the style is created, matching issue cards will be displayed on the timeline according to the selected style rules.

Event Customization

Custom styles can also be configured for ActivityTimeline events.

Event styles can be based on the Event Type, allowing you to visually separate bookings, meetings, vacations, sick leaves, placeholders, or other custom event types.

To configure styles for events, go to:

ActivityTimeline Configuration → Events → Event Customization

Using custom styles helps teams create a more visual planning experience and quickly identify important work items directly on the timeline.
