Planning events and vacations in TimePlanner allows teams to schedule non-project-related activities, ensuring that all team members are aware of upcoming occurrences that might affect their work schedule. Here’s how to effectively plan an event in TimePlanner:
Planning an Event
Open the Planning Dialog: Navigate to the date on your calendar where you wish to schedule an event, then open the planning dialog by clicking on it. Select the "Event" tab to begin setting up your event.
Enter Event Details: Provide the essential information for your event, including:
Event Name: The title or name of your event.
Description: A brief overview or purpose of the event.
Start Time and End Time: The duration of the event.
Teams: If the event involves entire teams, select the team and automatically include all its members in the event.
Guests: For events that include specific individuals rather than whole teams, select and add single users as guests.
Marker Color: Choose a color that will represent your event on the scheduler, making it easily distinguishable.
Edit/Delete an Event
To make changes or remove an event, simply hover over the event on your scheduler. The planning details will appear on the right panel.
Options to edit or delete will be available, allowing for easy management of event details.
Event Time Log
Once your event is created, you have the option to log time for it in the TimeLog. This feature is useful for tracking the duration of events and ensuring they are accounted for in your team’s schedule.
In return, you can also locate the event within the time log dialog.
