You are viewing documentation for Structure Server and Data Center version 5.6 and patch releases. For other versions, see Version Index or [Structure Cloud].
You can view and edit structures directly from your Jira dashboard with the Structure dashboard gadget.
Structure gadget can be added like any other dashboard gadget:
In order to add a gadget to an existing dashboard, you must have change permissions. If you do not have change permission, you can try to create a copy of the dashboard using Tools | Copy Dashboard.
You can add several gadgets showing different structures on the same dashboard.
When you first add a gadget to dashboard, the gadget configuration panel appears with a dimmed preview of the gadget below. (The same panel is shown when you use the Edit command from the gadget header drop-down.)
To configure the gadget:
Deselect Allow Changes to protect the structure from accidental changes, such as changes caused by drag-and-drop or hitting the Delete key.
Once you have created your gadget, you can customize by adding, removing or rearranging columns – see Customizing Columns.
Once you've made changes to the gadget's view, a new indicator will appear at the bottom of the gadget, along with options to save those changes or revert back to the view's original setting.
Click the Save link will apply all the changes you have made to the existing view. The view will be updated everywhere it is in use, in the gadget, on Structure Board, etc. It will also impact all other users with access to that view.
Click the Revert link to remove your adjustments and return to the original view as it is stored on the server.
There is no Save As option on the dashboard gadget; however, it can be accomplished using the following method:
If the user viewing the gadget does not have Use permission on the configured view, the gadget will show a default view with only Issue Key and Summary as columns.
When viewing a structure in a gadget, some of Structure's features will be limited or unavailable:
However, many features are still available, including
Working from the Structure Board provides the most unrestricted Structure experience. To get to the Structure Board from a gadget, click the Open link.
The structure will open on the Structure Board with the same filters and transformations that were applied in the original gadget. For example, if the gadget only shows items from a specific project, sorted by Assignee, that's exactly what you'll see on the Structure Board. To review or remove these transformations, click the Transformations button in the panel toolbar.
