    Article summary

    In JobBag, diary events are used to schedule meetings or set reminders linked to specific jobs or projects. They help organize recurring internal WIP meetings, important external client meetings, and annual or personal leave requests. These events also assist in tracking key dates such as deadlines, talent rollovers, and birthdays.

    Diary events can be shared with team members, include alerts for upcoming meetings, and integrate with external calendars like Outlook or Google Calendar. Most importantly, they simplify timesheet entries for selected events. Typically, events are scheduled within the active Diary calendar or in the Diary tab of the Jobs window.
