1. About the Issue Activity Stream gadget
The Issue Activity Stream gadget displays the recent activity on the issues. It resembles Jira’s built-in Activity Stream gadget, but it is based on a rich filter and thus adds new features:
- the content displayed can be further filtered by using Rich Filter Controller gadgets;
- the gadget itself can further refine the results by:
- applying a gadget-specific JQL query called working query;
- filtering the activity items by their author and activity type;
- the content of the gadget can be exported to PDF, Excel (.xlsx), and CSV formats.
2. Configuring the Issue Activity Stream gadget
Add a new or edit an existing Issue Activity Stream gadget in your Jira dashboard. The configuration form of the gadget will be displayed:
Edit the gadget configuration as described in the following table:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Rich filter | Select the rich filter the gadget will be based on. Click on the Rich Filter selector to display the list of rich filters; you can either scroll through or use the search box to find the filter you need. The gadgets’ configuration forms only show the rich filters you are allowed to view. See the Rights and Permissions documentation page for details. |
Working query | The working query is an additional JQL query which is permanently applied on top of the base Jira filter and any active quick filters in the controller, to further filter the issues the gadget will work with. The working query is optional: if left empty, only the base Jira filter and the quick filters affect the issues displayed by the gadget. |
Items filtering | This setting is optional and allows filtering the activity items by their author and/or activity type. For each of the two filters you can select the operator (is or is not) and one or more values:
The options available for activity type filtering are: Issue created, Issue edited, Issue transitioned, Issue resolved, and Comment. |
Maximum initial items | The maximum number of items the gadget will display initially. The default is 10; it can be changed but it cannot exceed 100. Users can display more items by clicking on the Show more... button at the bottom of the items list. |
