Dashboards

Last updated: Mar 19, 2021

The Dashboards tab displays a list of all of the dashboards that have been created in your Jira instance. It also displays the owner of each dashboard as well as its level of visibility and number of favorites. This is another area that grows out of control quickly because each user tends to create several dashboards for various purposes. For example, one user may create a personal dashboard, a project-level dashboard and a dashboard that management can use to track progress or other relevant information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The list of dashboards on this tab only displays dashboards that the Jira Administrator have access too, so the administrator must either own the dashboard, be a part of the project the dashboard is shared with or belong to the group the dashboard is shared with. Public dashboards are included in the listing as well as any dashboards that are shared with public-facing projects.
