-
In the What would you like to add to the calendar? section, select Tasks. Then click the Add Tasks button.
-
Add three filter rules:
- Project > Status Equates With > Equal > Current
- Assignment Users > ID > Equal > $$USER.ID
- Task > Is Complete > Equal > False
-
Click Save.

Create a second grouping by clicking Add to Calendar, then Add advanced items.
-
In the Add items to the calendar window that pops up, name the group “Incomplete Issues.”
-
Select blue as the color.
-
Change the Date Field to Planned Dates.

Because you used $$USER.ID in the filters, you can share this calendar with others and they will see their own incomplete tasks and issues.
