Inspiration

As an active user of Atlassian stack, our company got accustomed to keeping track of team calendar events, such as vacations or sick leaves, displayed as a timeline in Confluence.

Aligned with Atlassian's global initiative of moving to a cloud future, Rozdoum, as a Solution Partner, facilitates and encourages this innovation by migrating all our internal services and processes to Cloud as well.

In Confluence Server, this calendar functionality comes out of the box, and in Cloud, it is partially unavailable. As the ability to track issue duration was highly desired for us and backed up by community threads, we built this Calendar for Confluence app, which reproduces in Cloud the functionality similar to Server.

What it does

Embedded into a Confluence page, Calendar for Confluence Cloud displays Jira issues as calendar events and their duration across the timeline.

Choose the project you want to track, select what Jira time fields (including custom fields) to set as Start and End Dates, and easily keep track of your team's workload from Confluence Cloud.

The app offers four custom calendar views: Month, Week, Day, and Agenda – which let you always stay on top of your current project schedules for more intuitive resource management. 

How we built it

We used forge CLI and built a custom UI forge app using @forge/api and @forge/resolver.

Challenges we ran into

Probably, the most unclear part was combining custom UI with MacroConfig component, which we've found out doesn't work for now, though would be a great thing to have. 

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Forge CLI provides a really good way to rump up a simple application, however, dealing with custom UI was a bit challenging. 

What we learned

A new simple way to build simple Atlassian apps.

What's next for

Release on Atlassian Marketplace to expand Rozdoum app line;

 

Support of Jira filters;

 

Possibility of adding multiple series of events;

 

Adjustable color schemes for event series.
