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!
