Release Notes for 2.0.0

New Features

Dashboard Folder Plugin Administrators

All authorised personnel can now directly organise Dashboard Folders without waiting for Jira Administrators.

Refer to Dashboard Folders Administration

Alias Name for Dashboard

Administrators can now define an alias name for Dashboard within a Folder.

A Dashboard can have different alias name across multiple Folders.

An alias name can help to:

• simplify Dashboard name without changing the actual Dashboard name

• reorder the Dashboard position which is sorted in it's natural sort order

• promote generic Dashboards that are placed into multiple Folders using different alias name that are relevant to the Folder

Add Dashboard to Folder(s)

This new feature helps administrators to quickly add a Dashboard to Folder(s).

Refer to Associate Dashboard to Folder

Link Dashboard to Project(s)

Dashboards can now be easily associated to a Project.

To do that, simply go to the target Dashboard, click on the menu icon then click "Link Dashboard to Project(s)".

Each Dashboard can be associated to multiple Project(s).

Associated Dashboard(s) will appear as links on the Project sidebar. The result is that end user are able to: quickly find Dashboard that are associated to the project they are working on avoid creating similar Dashboard when they cannot find appropriate Dashboard while searching for it

Design Changes

UI Revamp

The UI for editing Folder content and permission has been simplified to focus on individual Folder rather than editing all Folders at once:

Function	Version 1	Version 2
Manage Folder (list)
Manage Folder Dashboard
Edit Folder

Migration of Top Dashboard 

Originally Dashboard that are placed at the top most Folder (top Dashboard) can have extra permission control via the Dashboard Folders plugin.

From v2.0.0 onwards, this extra permission on the top Dashboard has been removed. The top most Folder (Home Folder) is now public and any Dashboard placed in the Home Folder will not have permission control, i.e. visibility will be controlled by the individual Dashboard viewer permission.

For existing instances with extra permission control set on top Dashboard, each top Dashboard will be migrated into individual Folder with name – Migrated: <Dashboard Name>

• Exception: top Dashboard with permission set to 'public' will remain as a top Dashboard after migration

Version 1	Version 2

Sorting

Sorting (drag and drop) function of the Folders and Dashboards has been removed.

Instead, Folders and Dashboard are automatically sorted by natural order.
