Issue Activity Feed Widgets

The Issue Activity Feed widget lets you monitor changes in a set of issues. The set of issues is filtered by a search query that you specify in the widget.

The widget displays recent changes in issues that match the specified query for the last 90 days.

To add an Issue Activity Feed widget to a Dashboard:

  1. Click the Add widget button on the Dashboard.

  2. From the drop-down list, select Issue Activity Feed.

  5. To show changes applied by a specific user, select an account from the Change author list.

  6. Select categories of activities that you wish to monitor. See the list of available categories for details.

  7. Set a custom refresh rate for the widget, in seconds. The default refresh rate for a report widget is 4 minutes.
