Dashboard Issue Actions

The issue actions are available directly from the Rich Filter Results gadget, allowing you to easily update your issues directly from the dashboard.

How to access the issue actions menu

To access the issue actions menu, you can use either of the options shown below:

1. Right-click on any Issue row (anywhere except on a link, since clicking on a link will display the browser's normal context menu)

2. Left-click on the Issue Actions button

Open

How do the issue actions work

The issue action menu is divided into three sections:

1. The first section contains “View issue” and “View issue in navigator.” These two actions are always available.
   The view actions open the issue in a new tab. “View issue in navigator”? It also includes a reference to the current JQL of the Rich Filter Results gadget, which allows you to iterate through the filtered issues in Jira’s issue navigator.

2. The following section contains the available issue transitions. These are the same transitions that are available on the issue’s page.

3. The last section contains other useful issue operations, such as “Edit”, “Assign” or “Watch issue”.

The issue transitions and operations allow you to update issues directly from the dashboard without opening any new tabs or windows:

• Actions that require user input (such as “Edit” and “Assign”, or transitions with screens) will display a dialog with the required fields.

• Actions that can be performed without any additional user input (such as “Assign to me” and “Add vote” or transitions without screens) are applied immediately.

The Rich Filter Results gadget will refresh automatically to show the updates after an action is performed; other gadgets using the same rich filter will also update so that your statistics are always up to date. All successful actions will briefly display a message flag at the top right of the screen. If the updated issue is still on the screen, it is highlighted briefly.
