Documentation for GreenHopper 3.8. Documentation for other versions of JIRA Agile is available too.
GreenHopper is now called JIRA Agile. Learn more.

With the GreenHopper portlet you can track the ongoing versions of your projects directly from your dashboard. Multiple shortcuts will allow you to navigate faster. Read Adding the Projects Gadget for instructions of how to add a portlet to your JIRA dashboard.

Displaying the Greenhopper portlet in Confluence

This portlet can also be displayed in Confluence with the JIRA portlet macro. Note that you won't be able to access it if your JIRA and Confluence domain differs (due to the browser's security for cross-domain Ajax calls). In this case you can use the static portlet (see below). See instructions on how to include a portlet in Confluence here.

Static GreenHopper Portlet

The GreenHopper portlet is not easily exportable outside JIRA, being mostly in Ajax. We have made a static version of this portlet to allow users to export it anywhere without being blocked by the browsers cross domain security. To use it you will have to simply add at the end of your portlet url the parameter staticView=true.

Example of the portlet URL:

http://www.greenpeppersoftware.com/jira/secure/RunPortlet.jspa?portletKey=com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:greenhopper-portlet&projectid=10110&staticView=true

Additional and optional parameters

  • versionName — Use this parameter, if you wish to override the default version (Default version = Version with the youngest release date).
  • graph— Use this parameter, if you wish to override the default chart type (Default chart type = Hour Burndown)
    • 2 — Issue Burndown
    • 3 — Custom field Burndown
    • 4 — Custom field Burndup
    • 5 — Custom field Value Chart
  • fieldName — Mandatory, if you select a chart type based on a custom field
  • forMaster — Use this parameter, if you wish to display the chart 'By Children'. Applicable only if targeted version is a Master.

For example here we are going to display a 'Value Chart' for 'Story points' for the 'Release 2.4':

http: //...&staticView=true&versionName=Release %20 2.4&graph=5&fieldName=Story %20 Points

If you have specified a version name and this version has been released, the portlet will only display the snapshot of the desired chart that was saved. Also make sure you escape your white spaces by using the '%20' character, i.e. 'Release 2' ==> 'Release %20 2'.

    Very useful, especially for customize dashboard based on several of this portlet.

    Question:

    What is the parameter to define specific Context View?

    Thanks!
