Customising Application Tabs for your Project

Hiding, Showing and Moving Application Tabs for your Project

Procedure:

1. Log in as an administrator, click the menu labelled with your user name in the JIRA Studio header, and select 'Administration'. The administration console will display with the 'General' tab active. You will see the list of projects currently set up.
2. Click the name of the project that you want to customise. The global settings for the project will appear.
3. At the bottom of the Tabs section, click 'More'. The 'Tab Administration' page will display.
   • To hide or show an application tab, click the 'Hide' or 'Show' links in the 'Actions' column for the tab respectively.
   • To move an application tab, click the up () and down () arrows in the 'Actions' column for the tab.
   • To reset the display to the default tab configuration, click the 'Reset Default Tab Configuration' link. Note that this will remove any custom tabs that you have added.
   • To edit the default tab configuration for all projects, click the 'Edit Default Tab Configuration' link. Read more about default application tabs in Configuring Global and Default Application Tabs.

Adding a Custom Application Tab to your Project

Procedure:

1. Log in as an administrator, click the menu labelled with your user name in the JIRA Studio header, and select 'Administration'. The administration console will display with the 'General' tab active. You will see the list of projects currently set up.
2. Click the name of the project that you want to customise. The global settings for the project will appear.
3. At the bottom of the Tabs section, click 'More'. The 'Tab Administration' page will display.
4. Click the 'Add Custom Tab' link. The 'Edit Custom Tab Project Details' page will appear.
5. Specify the tab name in the Display Name field and and the URL.
6. Click the Save button to add your custom tab.

Please note that if you specify a URL for your new tab which is external to JIRA Studio (e.g. www.youtube.com), the entire external page will be loaded without any Studio context when you click the new tab. Please ensure that your external page has links back into JIRA Studio, otherwise the user will only be able to navigate back to JIRA Studio by using the back button of their browser.

Adding a Home tab for your Project

You can also add a Home tab to your project, which is almost identical to a custom application tab. To set up a Home tab, read the instructions on configuring the home page for your project.

Renaming Default Application Tabs

You cannot rename the default tabs in JIRA Studio. However, you can create custom tabs and point the custom tabs to specific applications' URL, and then hide the default tabs.

To find out the URL of an application for your project, click the application in the header to go to that application and copy the URL from the address bar.
