Date Mode
On the Advanced Settings page, you can choose between Legacy or Default Date Modes for your Calendar by clicking the corresponding Edit button.
Info
Before version 8.5, the app was using the Legacy date mode
Default Date Mode
If no time information is provided, the Start Date will default to the beginning of the day, and the End Date will default to the end of the day. As a result, an event starting and finishing on the same date will have a duration of 1 full day (recommended settings).
Legacy Date Mode
If no time information is provided, both the Start Date and End Date will default to the beginning of the day. This means that an event starting and finishing on the same date will have no duration and will be treated as a milestone (default behaviour before Golive 8.5).
Main Menu Label
By default, the Golive menu displayed in the Jira navigation bar is labeled “Golive”. In the Preferences section, you can change this label to something more relevant. For example, you can rename it to Environments.
