Using the calendar

Use the calendar to schedule and launch deployments, and view events, including enterprise-wide release events.

You can use the calendar to monitor the high-level progress of your releases. You select the date range and apply filters to select the events and release activities for your applications and environments. You can also schedule new deployments on this page by clicking Add New Deployment. See Scheduling deployments for additional information.

The events for the selected time-frame are displayed on the right side of the page. A progress icon for each deployment is provided. The Key area describes the status icons.

There are two ways to view information: list or grid format. Using the list format, you can view data by week or an interval. A week runs from Monday to Sunday. For example, if you select a day in the middle of the week, the displayed week spans from the previous Monday to Sunday. The events for the selected time frame are listed by date. The grid view displays data in a calendar. Using this format, you can view data by the day, a four day period, week, or month. Use the forward and backward icons to view different months.

  - To display a custom date range, click Range. In the From calendar, select the start date, and in the To calendar, select the end date.
- For the calendar format, use the icons at the top right side to select a time frame to view. When selecting Day, click the date in the calendar to view. Use the forward and backward icons to move between months.
To filter the displayed data, use the Filter By lists. You can filter by type, team, release, or environment. At least one value for the type of event must be specified, otherwise nothing is displayed.
To schedule a deployment, click Add New Deployment.
The Add New Scheduled Deployment dialog displays. Type the necessary information for the deployment.

Review the displayed information and update the filters as necessary. There are a number of additional actions you can take based on the type of data.

For deployment information,

The status of each deployment is shown using the icons under the Key area.
To specify a deployment's application versions and quality statuses, if any, click Details and then select the application version. You can select versions for each application in the associated release. For information about configuring application versions and quality statuses, see Scheduling deployments.

For events, Create Dashboard > View Dashboard to view the Enterprise Deployment dashboard that is associated with an enterprise event. Each event has an icon with the color selected when the event was created.
