Advanced Settings

Learn how to access and define Advanced Settings and preferences in Golive.

Golive provides a range of Advanced Settings that allow you to customize various aspects of the app, including date formats, calendar preferences, security settings (Data Center only), and menu labels (Data Center only). This article will guide you through how to access and modify these settings to suit your needs.

You must be Jira or Golive Administrator to update the Golive Global Settings. For further information, refer to Security & Permissions.

3. In the Settings section, choose Advanced Settings.

Customizing Date Formats

On the Advanced Settings page, you can adjust Jira's working hours per day by clicking the corresponding Edit button. This setting aligns with Jira Time Tracking and is used to calculate and display issue duration fields, such as Estimates and Time Spent.

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)
