Project Dashboard — user guide¶
Project Dashboard brings your Redmine or Jira issues into IntelliJ: a task
list, a kanban board, a daily-meeting view and full issue details, without
leaving the IDE.
Overview¶
The plugin has four main views:
-
Task list — a tool window listing the open issues of the project you
are working on. - Dashboard — a kanban board of the same issues, opened as an editor tab.
-
Daily — tiles, a recap of recently handled issues, upcoming tickets and
a notes pad for your daily meeting, opened as an editor tab. -
Issue details — the full form for one issue: fields, description,
history, attachments, subtasks.
All four are cross-linked: each one has a button to jump to the other three,
using the same icon everywhere so the destination is easy to recognize.
See each view in detail: Task list · Dashboard
· Daily · Issue details.
Settings¶
Two places, both under Settings → Tools → Project Dashboard:
-
Project Dashboard (application-wide) — declare one tracker per house
you work with: a name, its type (Redmine or Jira), its address and a
secret (an API key for Redmine, an API token for Jira — stored in the
IDE's own password safe, never written to a plain file). From the same
page you set the icon, colour and WIP ceiling of every tracker, priority
and status, and the calendar used to compute business days. -
Task Management (per project) — pick which declared tracker this
project follows, and which of its own projects. This choice is written to
a small manifest at the root of the project,.gproject, so it survives
between IDE restarts and can be shared with teammates through version
control if you choose to.
Navigating without a mouse¶
Tools → Project Dashboard carries the same actions as an editable keymap
group, and a searchable palette (find an issue by number or by title) is
available from the same menu. Two optional status bar widgets — one for the
dashboard, one for the daily — can be turned on from the status bar's own
right-click menu if you would rather not use the tool window at all.
