Guest Dashboard

Last modified: 09 October 2024

You can configure a dashboard that is displayed by default to guest users. This dashboard can provide an overview of your projects to visitors, customers, and external users.

Guest user access must be enabled for guest users to access your YouTrack environment.

If you don't configure the guest dashboard, all your visitors see is this:

Surely, you can do better.

Take a look at the guest dashboard that we built for the JetBrains YouTrack installation.

We use a Markdown Notes widget to inform visitors that they can register their own accounts and have direct access to our issue tracker.

You can also build a dashboard that gives visitors an overview of your projects:

  • List the issues that were fixed in your latest release.

  • Show issues that are currently in progress.

  • Add links to recent blog posts or related forums.

Here's what such a dashboard would look like for our YouTrack project team:

The projects that are shown on the dashboard are visible to guest users. This means that visitors can click through and view the public details of issues that are shown in the issue widgets.
