Need help with scheduling time/message for a pop-up box

AisM

During the time of maintenance/backend changes, we want a dialogbox to pop up when a user logs in, Something that displays a msg saying "During this particular time , maintenance is going to be happening"

We were able to achieve this using script Fragment

My question is, is it possible to schedule timing for this pop up , instead of going and enabling each time, & is there anyway a user can modify the msg for this pop up without touching the code (We want a different team apart from the Jira admins to handle this)

@Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ Hellooooo, Hope you are good :) Can I please know your thoughts on this

Hi @AisM

I've written a community article how to configure a project banner in Jira Data Center using the global announcement banners. You can check out the code over there and modify it according to your needs.

You may want to do these modifications:

You can either keep it as a banner or modify the code/come up with your own code so that it opens a flag instead.
```
var myFlag = AJS.flag({
type: 'info',
body: 'The next downtime is scheduled for 3pm.',
});
```
If you want to show it based on time, you could define a date range within JS and compare the current date/time against it.

You still need Jira admin rights for accessing the global announcement banners though, unless you add some more code that the text loads from another location.

Maybe that helps leading you into some solution.

Cheers,
Matthias.

Hi @AisM

I hope you're well. I would suggest configuring announcement banners but it needs admin privilege and I don't think there is a way for team members to achieve that.

@Matthias Gaiser _K15t_'s article seems very helpful, but as he mentioned it still needs Jira admin and you need to improve the code if you want team members to modify it (like getting the information from a DB table which those team members will have access to update).

Thanks!

@Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ Thank you for the comment. Sadly, the org does not want a banner

We were able to create that dialog box using Script fragments. But updating the dates & msg for this box through the UI is the challenge

AisM

@Matthias Gaiser _K15t_ Thank you for the comment :)

We are looking for a way to have a dialog box pop up, not a banner. For now we are able to achieve that using script fragments. But, trying to find a way to update the dates for this script fragment to work through a service desk form. Basically, we do want a different user group to have control over when the dialog box should pop up.

AisM

@Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ - We were able to somehow update the dates through a hardcoded issue key in the fragment. Updating the date in the key enabled the fragment.

Can you PLEASE PLEASE help with one question. The fragment only pops up ONCE per user. Is there any way that could be fixed ? Not sure why that happens

I'm not entirely sure if I can assist with this, but let me begin by asking where you placed this code. How do you run this code?
