Change calendar and freeze windows

Every scheduled installation on one calendar, with the periods when production must not change.

The calendar

Integrations › Change calendar shows, month by month, every Pre-production and Production installation of the Deployments and Data Changes of the projects you can see: on its actual day once installed, otherwise on its committed day.

  • Each entry names its environment and code; Emergency changes, completed installs, overdue ones and those inside a freeze are marked.
  • A project filter, a month summary and an agenda view on phones.
  • Export the month as an iCalendar file for Outlook, Google Calendar or any other calendar.

Freeze windows

An administrator defines them in Administration › Change governance: a name, the first and last day and whether they freeze Production only or Pre-production too.

  • While one is in effect, installing a change it covers is refused — only Emergency changes can go ahead.
  • A change whose committed date falls in a freeze shows a warning in its Committee tab.
