Put a Task on a Timeline
The right timelines panel displays assigned issues that are already scheduled (that have Planned Start and Planned End dates set). Initially, no issues are scheduled so nothing is shown on the right timelines panel. You can plan an issue by drag'n'drop/move/resize or by clicking on it, then clicking on "Schedule" button and setting Start and End dates.
Example of Task Assignment
Switch the calendar back to Weekly view (default).
Get some task from the left panel and assign it to the team member by dragging and dropping it into his/her timeline
→ Task is now assigned to a person on whose timeline it appears. The system has set start and end dates.

green - workload is enough
red - the person is overloaded
yellow - not enough workload.
