Get started

1. Set up your calendars

1. In Jira, go to Settings > Apps > Daywise. You need to be a Jira admin.
2. On Calendars, edit the Default calendar or select New calendar.
3. Give it a name, pick the time zone and the country. Add a state, province or region if your holidays depend on it.
4. Pick the holiday types to include. Public holidays are on by default.
5. Tick the working weekdays and set the working hours.
6. Untick any holiday your team works, and add company closures, short days and extra working days.
7. Check the Days off preview at the bottom, then select Save calendar.

2. Give projects their calendar

On Projects, search for a project, pick its calendar and select Assign. Projects without their own calendar use the default calendar.

3. Use it

• JQL: duedate <= businessDaysFromNow(5) finds work due within five business days. Add a calendar name to use a specific calendar: duedate <= businessDaysFromNow(5, "Oslo office").
• Fields: add Business days open and Business days to due date to your screens, list views or board cards. Search them with JQL, for example "Business days to due date" < 0 for overdue work.
• Automation: add a step called Daywise: add business days or hours, Daywise: count business days or hours or Daywise: check a business day to any rule. The first time, Jira asks you to connect Automation to Daywise.
• Panel: open a work item and expand Business days on the right.
