After creating a new jazzhub project I noticed that while my project dashboard has a section on the right hand side to set the current plan, etc. there is no way I can set the current timeline. When I click on the link I am taking to the advanced project are management page where I do not have permissions to add members, set current timeline, etc.
Is there any plan to give project creators more control over their project areas? |

Hi Chris,
We simplified timeline creation and editing for JazzHub users. You can currently edit your timeline on the project details page for your project. To view the project details page, browse for your project on https://hub.jazz.net/projects and open it. At this point in time, we do not plan to give project creators administrative privileges over their project areas. Project creators can invite members to their project from the project details page.

No current iteration is defined. Go to the Project Area to select one.
I would like to set one of the iterations/timelines as current. Thanks, Chris Hi Chris,
Hi Lauren,
Our goal here was to attempt to simplify some of the complexities around timelines. We did realize the gap with current iterations, but not until we had the current functionality implemented. We do plan to do something to close the loop with the missing concepts in the tools, but we haven't figured out what yet. One idea was to automatically move the current iteration forward without any user interaction.
I opened another defect on this, the timeline wizard should set the current iteration. I heard about this from another early access user, and they agreed that automatically moving the current iteration would be a good solution. |

+1 to ensuring that the current iteration moves with the timeline. Automatically would be great!
One other thing to consider is that if certain administrative features aren't going to be available to project owners, then the specific dashboard viewlets associated with those features should be hidden or not available in the dashboard customization, as well. For example, if I can't set an iteration type, then I should not be able to select viewlets that dynamically show iteration info on my dashboard.
The long way of saying that it's confusing to see all of the possible features, but not have access to manipulate them. :-)

Great news! The current iteration will always be set for your timeline now. Whether you modify your timeline or whether it changes through normal passage of time, it should stay in sync. Let us know if you continue to have problems with it!

It switched over for our latest sprint automatically. Seems to be working well. Thanks!
