traffic light or visual alert on dashboards

[Elia Kouruklis]

Is there an option to generate some kind of traffic light or visual alert on dashboards? For example, if tickets arrive in the backlog of my Kanban board?

One idea would be to have the menu itself display a notification or highlight whenever new tickets arrive in the backlog, without the need to open it.

Hi @Elia Kouruklis,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

As far as I am aware the traffic light apps in the Marketplace adds a custom field on the work item so you can use that to report on their status, the quick search I did didn't result in a gadget. What you could do is using the Activity stream gadget and a filter that limit it to only show lets say work items created within 15 minutes. You can then set the gadget to refresh every 15 minutes.

Hi @Elia Kouruklis,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I'm afraid Jira doesn't have anything like that. A possible solution would be to search for an app on Atlassian Marketplace.

In case you want to try an app, you could get some kind of traffic lights by using the Issue Filter Formula gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app. This gadget can calculate a number, such as the count of issues in a JQL/filter, and display the result as a colored number based on its value.

You could configure it to calculate the count of new issues created in last hour for example, and display green-color if no issues or red-color if there are any issues.  So it will change from green to red depending on the issue count.

To achieve this, the gadget should be configured like this: 

Hope this helps.
