Tempo Timesheet Integration
Out of Office Assistant reads absences planned in Tempo Timesheets and Tempo Planner and turns them into out of office rules. This page describes what the integration produces; each step of the setup is documented on its own page, listed below.
How a Tempo plan becomes rules
An administrator decides which Tempo work items stand for absences. Each of those work items then carries one or more rule templates in Out of Office Assistant. The template supplies the scope, the coverers and the message; the Tempo plan supplies the dates.
A plan does not produce a single rule. It produces one rule for every template configured against that plan item. If an absence work item carries four templates, one two-day plan on it produces four rules.
All of them appear on My Rules under Current rules, with the Tempo icon in the Creator column in place of your avatar - the only thing on the row that names its source. Rules whose dates are still ahead show the status Scheduled. The List of Out of Office Rules describes the three tables on that tab and what each column holds.
Absence windows imported from Tempo, and the out of office tomorrow indicator, are evaluated in the affected user's own Jira profile timezone, or in the rule's timezone where the rule sets one. The app falls back to UTC only when neither is available.
Enabling and disabling Tempo
Tempo does not use the connect and disconnect controls the other integrations use. It is enabled and disabled instead, at two levels.
An administrator authorizes it at the global level. App Settings > Global Integrations lists it under the name Tempo Planner, of type Tempo Timesheet & Tempo Planner, with a status of Authorized and a toggle in the Enabled column.
Each person decides whether it applies to them. On My Integrations, Configure - the gear on the Tempo Planner card - opens a page called Tempo Planner Integration, which carries an Enable this integration checkbox. Clearing it turns the integration off for that person.
The Tempo Planner card has no Disconnect button. Configure is its only action, where the Office 365 (Outlook), Google Calendar and Slack cards also offer Disconnect.
The administrator view lists each global integration with its type, status and Enabled toggle.
