Create an issue on the calendar

There are a few ways to create issues on the calendar:

1. Select the date the issue will be due on the calendar. This will automatically become the due date of the issue. A text field will appear.

2. Give your issue a name.

3. Choose which type of issue you’d like to create from the dropdown (if your project has more than one issue type). All issue types associated with your business project except for subtasks, will be included. Learn more about creating subtasks

4. Press enter on your keyboard to create your issue.

Manage the start date and due date from within the calendar

You can manage your issue’s start date and due dates from within the calendar without opening the issue’s detailed view.

• To move the issue to a different due date, drag and drop it to the new due date

• Adjust an issue’s start and end dates by selecting and dragging the edges of the issue. You can drag the right edge across multiple days to extend the due date or change the start date by dragging the left edge in either direction.
