Setting up gadgets

Now that you have set up your portal dashboard page and shared it with the other members of the team, you need to start adding some useful information to it. One example would be to have all the unresolved incidents that are waiting to be processed on the dashboard display. Jira has an Assigned to Me gadget, which shows all the issues that are assigned to the currently logged-in user, but what you need is a global list irrespective of the assignee of the incident.

Luckily, Jira also has a Filter Results gadget, which displays search results based on a search filter. Since you have already created a filter that returns all the unresolved tasks in your HR project, the combination of both will nicely solve your problem:

  1. Browse to the Human Resources dashboard you have just created
  2. Click on the Add Gadget option at the top-right corner
  3. Click on the Add gadget button for the Filter Results gadget
  4. Select the Unresolved HR Tasks filter you created
  5. Add any additional fields you wish to add for the Columns to display option
  6. Enable Auto refresh and set the interval to 15 minutes
  7. Click on the Save button

This will add a new Filter Results gadget to your new dashboard, using your filter as the source of data. The gadget will auto-refresh its contents every 15 minutes, so you will not need to refresh the page all the time. You can add some other gadgets to the dashboard to make it more informative and useful. Some other useful gadgets include the Activity Stream and Assigned to Me gadgets.
