Include vacation days in the Tempo Timesheets calendars

Question

Hello, we would like to know if it is possible to include vacation days in Tempo Timesheets calendars.

Thank you!

Hi @Sandra Carrillo

BigPicture retrieves Tempo data from 5 areas: Workload Schemes, Holiday Schemes, Teams, Team members, Skills, and Resources.

Considering the fact that the internal issues do not update Tempo Holiday Schemes, vacations generated in this way won't be synchronized with BigPicture. As internal issues are Jira issues, they will be displayed as a regular task.

If you want to get up-to-date data about your team's capacity or schedule your projects based on an assignee's working days, you can add vacations directly in BigPcture. Here you can find more info on managing absences in BigPicture.

I will gladly answer any questions you may have; just tag me.

Hi @Anna-BigPicture ,

Could you help us? Is it possible that internal issues (we do not referring to Holiday schemes) appear in BigPicture?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Sandra Carrillo ,

You might need to reach out to BigPicture about this as they are retrieving data from Tempo and displaying it in their product.

As Internal issues are simple JIRA issues that have an added label in Tempo, data added to these issues should be available in BigPicture in the same way as data of other issues. 
The BigPicture team might be able to give you better information on how this can be done.

Their documentation mentions that Holiday schemes can be synced to them, but this integration is a BigPicture Enterprise feature (https://wiki.softwareplant.com/doc/all/administration/tempo-synchronization)
