Release Notes for 2.1.0

What’s New

New Features / Improvement

Ordering Type of Dashboard and Folder

Ordering via drag and drop of the Folders and Dashboards was removed in Dashboard Folder v2.0.0 and replaced with alphabetical sorting.

In Dashboard Folder v2.1.0, admin can now select the ordering type to sort items alphabetically or manually.

Item here refers to either child Folder or Dashboard within a parent Folder
The ordering type for Folder and Dashboard can be set differently

Ordering Type	Description
Manual	Admin can drag and drop an item (dashboard or folder) to the desired position Any newly added dashboard/folder will automatically be added to the end of the list Any edit to an item name will not change the position of the list
Automatic (A - Z)	Item (Dashboard or Folder) is automatically sorted by alphanumeric order Any newly added or edited item will automatically be adjusted to the alphanumeric order in the list
Reverse (Z - A)	Item (Dashboard or Folder) is automatically sorted by reverse alphanumeric order Any newly added or edited item will automatically be adjusted to the reverse alphanumeric order in the list

Refer to Configure Dashboard Folders.

Depending on the upgrade path, the old Dashboard Folder v1.x ordering might not be migrated.

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This setting will be superseded by the individual user account setting when they expand/collapse the sidebar (see How to view Dashboard Folders | Dashboard-Sidebar).

Refer to Dashboard Folders Administration | Default-Dashboard-Sidebar-State .

Saved Dashboard Sidebar Tab

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

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.

View Folder List	Add / Edit Folder Details

UI Improvement – Top Menu Dropdown

The top menu has been changed to the native Jira AUI Dropdown.

The top menu will now persist as long as the user does not click outside the menu.

Old Top Bar Menu	New Top Bar Menu
Not Jira native UI, non uniform look Mouse needs to hover over the menu to expand the sub-menu Clicking on any menu item will dismiss the whole menu	Uniform look with other top bar menu Persist as long as mouse does not click outside of the menu Clicking of folder item will not dismiss the menu

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.
