Default Dashboard Sidebar State

Jira Administrator can now set the default Dashboard Sidebar state.

Note:

  • by default, the Dashboard Sidebar state is set to hidden

  • this feature is limited to Jira Administrator, Dashboard Folder Admin will not be able to access

For new installation or when new user onboard, the user’s Dashboard Sidebar view will follow this default setting.

This setting will be superseded by the individual user account setting when they expand/collapse the sidebar (see ).

Saved Dashboard Sidebar Tab

Dashboard Folder v2.1.0 will now remember the user’s last viewed Dashboard Sidebar tab (Folders / Favourites):

UI Improvement – Permission Label

The ‘private’ viewer permission is renamed to “jira-admin” (Jira Administrator).

This is to avoid ambiguity for Administrators so they know that this permission level allows all other Jira Administrator(s) to have access to view this folder.

Bug Fixes

Manage Dashboard in Folder Sorting Order

In Dashboard Folder v2.0.0, “Manage Dashboard in Folder” page was sorted by ID instead of alphabetical sort by Dashboard / Alias name.

This issue is fixed in Dashboard Folder v2.1.0 to be consistent with other configuration pages.

Natural Sort Order for Alphanumeric String

Alphanumeric Sort ordering in Dashboard Folder v2.0.0 is wrong when there is consecutive numeric characters.

e.g. ‘11’ will appear before '2' because when comparing the first character, 1 < 2

This issue is fixed in Dashboard Folder v2.1.0.
