Issues Calendar & Roadmap as Gadget

You can outline you Issues Calendar & Roadmap as Gadget, also the Roadmap view. To do so, create a new Dashboard and add a Gadget.

The following options could be configured:

  • Name of the Gadget

  • Projects as a source if issues

  • JQL filter to shortlist Jira issues you want to depict

  • Issues assigned to me

  • Roadmap mode toggle to switch between Calendar and Roadmap views, also specify the amount of days to want to see on the roadmap view.

  • Show Work Log toggle to turn on worklog details and summary

  • Group events by to select how to organize swimlanes for Roadmap view

  • Limit Work In Progress to setup daily min/max WIP limits and color coding for exceeding days

  • Quick filters to turn on one or multiple filters defined

  • Status mapping to select status we want to outline on the Calendar or Roadmap view

  • Update every 15 minutes

As a result your dashboard will look like the following

Exporting Gadgets to Confluence

By default Atlassian Cloud does not support export of third party Gadgets (Gadgets delivered by Atlassian Marketplace Partners) to Confluence. Here, we will explain a work around to make it happen

Step 1. Create Jira Dashboard

Create a new Dashboard - the Dashboard will be included in the Confluence page, so you could add there one or multiple gadgets.

Assign correct permission to the dashboard so the relevant people can see it.

Change layout to the single-column layout!

Add your prefered gadget(s).

Switch to wallboard mode and copy URL in the browser.

Step 2. Create Confluence Page

Open the Confluence page and add the iFrame macro.

Put URL from the Wallboard and customize the size.

Save page and share with your team.
