Note taking gadget in Dashboard

[Jeff Boon]

Hi community, is there any ways for me to have a note taking section in my Dashboard? As I am using my Dashboard to see all the tasks related, assigned, and reported by me.

Having a note section can help me to write down some important misc activities.

if jira cloud doesn't have this option, possible for any workaround?

Hi @Jeff Boon,

Everything you do in Jira relates to issues. Taking notes is what you do in comments on those issues.

If your dashboard has gadgets like filter results on it, you can add comments to your issues directly from the dashboard without you having to open individual issues first, as you can see in this example:

Your notes will end up in the comments of the issue you selected.

If you are thinking about global documentation, meeting notes, ideation and other stuff that does not necessarily relate to one specific issue, Atlassian has Confluence - a wiki style collaboration and documentation product that integrates nicely with Jira.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I am also interested in a similar solution.

We like to use a Dashboard in a Project management meeting where we quickly go over the open questions of the specific issues.

However, we would like to have the questions (agenda) to be displayed in the Dashboard and then also be able to write answers to the specific issue in the Dashboard directly. For the second part, we could theoretically use the comment function, what would be even better would be if we could write directly in the dashboard without opening a new tab?

But for the agenda - so the questions we would write beforehand - is there a way to display that in the Dashboard? Perhaps to show in the Dashboard the last internal comment? or the internal description or some other field that we could fill beforehand?

Thanks!
