Calendar & time tracking

A subscribable iCal feed for team/track/album/camp events and a time-entry log for tracking hours spent on tracks, versions, milestones, and todos.

What it is

Aden's calendar has two sides:

Calendar feeds let you subscribe to your team's schedule — sessions, releases, milestones, and goals — in any calendar app (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.). The feed updates automatically as things change in Aden.

Time tracking lets you log the hours you (and your collaborators) spend on a track, a specific version, a milestone, or a to-do item. You can also set time estimates on milestones and todos so you can see how actual time compares to what you planned.

Using it

Subscribing to a calendar feed

Go to your team's Calendar page (or open a track or album and pick the Calendar tab).
Click Subscribe and choose your calendar app — Aden generates the right link for iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook.
Your calendar app fetches the feed and keeps it up to date. Any new sessions, releases, or milestones appear automatically.

You can also subscribe to a personal feed that covers all your teams at once, or to a writers camp feed (available from the org sessions calendar).

Calendar sync requires the Ultra plan.

Importing an external calendar

On the Calendar page, open Imported calendars and click Add calendar.
Paste the iCal URL from your external calendar (e.g. your Google Calendar's private iCal link) and give it a name and colour.
The imported events appear alongside your Aden events. Toggle the import off at any time without deleting it.

External calendars can be scoped to a team (shared with all members) or to your personal view only.

Logging time on a track

Open a track (or a version, milestone, or todo) and find the Time tracking panel.
Click Log time, enter the duration in minutes (or a start/end time), and add an optional description.
The entry appears in the log. You can edit or delete it later.

You can log time on behalf of another collaborator by picking them from the collaborator list, or enter a custom name/email for off-platform contributors. Sessions also have a bulk time-log dialog at the end of a session that lets you split hours across multiple tracks at once.
