Create project dashboard through coordinator

[Div. Sviluppo Gianmarco]

Hello everyone,

in our Jira Software environment we have more project's coordinators and everyone of these administates different projects.

As site-admin, I need to create a dashboard that contains multiple projects filtered through coordinator.

Is this possible? I haven't found a dashboard's gadget that resolve my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Div. Sviluppo Gianmarco  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What information are you wanting to show on the dashboard?

A dashboard can show information for multiple projects, and is driven by filters used by the gadgets.  For some gadgets, it might make sense to show separate projects and for others to roll them up together.

Please see these sources for more information:

Hello Bill,

thanks for your reply! 

All I want is a simple list of projects without "advanced" information, filterable thorugh lead/coordinator and show them in a dashboard. I have not found a gadget that solve my problem but I have found this plugin used for create custom project fields and use them for basic-filterable projects dashbord.

Best regards,

Gianmarco

Thanks for the information.  Have you tried the Filter Results gadget?  It comes with JIRA cloud, and lets you select the columns you want for whatever filter you define.

Yes i have tried that gadget (I use this for other dashboards).

The problem with it is that filters are based on JQL (Jira Query Language).

JQL allows you to filter tasks/tickets and not projects. For example Project's coordinator field is not selectable in JQL and it is therefore difficult to solve my problem in the beginning.

Is project coordinator a custom field, or something else?

If this is something like the Project Lead that is associated with a project, you could use JQL like this:

project IN projectsLeadByUser(username)
