Documentation for GreenHopper 4.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA Agile is available too.
GreenHopper is now called JIRA Agile. Learn more.

What happened to the GreenHopper Portlet?

Portlets have been deprecated in JIRA 4.0 and replaced by gadgets, including the GreenHopper portlet. You can still access the legacy GreenHopper portlet in JIRA 4.0, but we strongly recommend that you use the Agile Gadget instead.

The Agile Gadget allows you to view summaries of GreenHopper information from your projects directly on your JIRA dashboard. You can monitor the progress of versions, view charts and access common GreenHopper pages via the Agile gadget.

(info) For more information on using with gadgets in JIRA, please see the JIRA documentation.

To add the Agile Gadget to your JIRA dashboard,

  1. Log into JIRA or navigate to your dashboard, if you are already logged in.
  2. Click the 'Add Gadget' link in the top right. The 'Gadget Directory' screen will display.
  3. Find the 'Agile Gadget' in the list of gadgets and click 'Add it now'.
  4. Click the 'Finished' button in the bottom right.
  5. The 'Agile Gadget' gadget will display on your dashboard. Enter the following setup details for your gadget:
    • 'Project' — the JIRA project that you want to display GreenHopper data for.
    • 'Display chart values' — whether or not you want to view charts in the gadget.
    • 'Refresh Interval' — how often the data in the gadget will refresh.
  6. The Agile Gadget will refresh and display data for all unscheduled issues in your project. To display the desired GreenHopper data in your Agile gadget, configure the following:
    • Select a version from the version () dropdown. Defaults to 'Unscheduled'. Note, only unreleased versions can be selected.
    • Select a context from the context () dropdown. Defaults to 'Default'.
    • Check the 'Assigned to me' checkbox, if you want to filter the issues to those assigned to you only.
    • If you have charts displayed, you can switch between the different types of charts by clicking the tabs above the charts (e.g. 'Hours', 'Issues', etc).
  7. You can also access the main JIRA/GreenHopper views for your issues, via the icons in the top right:

(tick) Tip: You can add the 'Agile Gadget' to your dashboard multiple times, if you wish to track multiple projects/versions.
