Release date: Jun 5, 2024
Our team is thrilled to announce the latest release of BigPicture!
New
We're excited to partially introduce the possibility of setting the default scheduling mode per task type to enhance your BigPicture experience. This change is currently being tested with a selected group of users to gather feedback and ensure the best possible user experience. This means some users will see the new feature while others will continue with the existing experience.
Scheduling mode
Configure the default scheduling mode per task type
You can configure the default scheduling mode for each task type, including extra tasks such as Jira epics, components, projects, sprints, versions, etc. This way, new task types you add to a box in the future will get the default scheduling mode. The configuration works per box or box type.
Setting the default scheduling mode does NOT affect the existing task types. This feature ensures that future task types added to a box automatically get the default scheduling mode.
Edit the default scheduling mode
To edit the default scheduling mode for Jira components, projects, sprints, and versions:
Go to Box configuration > Tasks > Scheduling.
Expand the Advanced configuration tab.
Click Edit next to the task type.
Select the scheduling mode.
Click Edit to save.

To add the default scheduling mode for a new task type:
Click Add task type.
Select a task type.
