In the ‘Timeline Panel’ tab in ActivityTimeline Configurations, you can define settings and customize the appearance of your timelines.
This configuration is split into 2 sections: Timeline View and Events
Timeline View
In this configuration, you have the option to customize the default colors of Jira issues and Local Events:
As well as configure settings related to the calendar itself, like the first day of the week, Date Only, or Date/Time modes (allows to schedule tasks within a day):
Note: if you would like you to use Date/Time mode, you need to make sure that you also have custom fields of date/time format in Jira, if you have them mapped at the Jira integration page.
Events
In this part of the settings you can configure the following:
“Track blocked issues” - it defines whether ActivityTimeline should track dependencies between your Jira issues. If enabled, ActivityTimeline will be tracking ‘Issue blocks/blocked by’ links in Jira.
By default this setting is disabled.
“Confirmation on Event removal” - specifies if ActivityTimeline should show a confirmation box when the user clicked on an icon of the custom event to remove it. Default Value: checked
“Create Jira issues through ActivityTimeline” - you can create a new Jira issue through ActivityTimeline if the setting is enabled. Otherwise, the system will open a native Jira page to create new Jira issues in a popup. By default, it is enabled.
“Displaying of Resolved Tickets” - controls whether to show resolved issues on timelines and whether to count their remaining time estimate for the workload.
Possible values:
display resolved tickets and count their remaining time estimate for the workload
display resolved tickets but do not count their remaining time estimate for the workload
hide resolved tickets and do not count their remaining time estimate for the workload
Default value: Show on timelines with remaining estimates
“Deadline Warning Period” - defines the number of days from the current date till the due date of the task.
Default Value: 7 (days)
If the due date is shorter, then the task will appear emphasized (in bold black color by default).
