Where does the Component summary page gone??

Question

After upgrading to Jira 7.7.2 is seems like the access to the component summary page was gone.

when clicking on a component within a ticket, instead of getting the component summary page with impotent data such as Owner, latest related tickets and more, I get search page where component = the selected components.

NOT useful  AT ALL!!!

Hi Josh,

As we just upgraded, now I found about it only now.

Anyway, I must say the components summary view was very useful is a sense it gave the user a kind of dashboard per component: owner, latest related issues, resolved issues and relevant versions.

when you deal with projects which has lots of components - this view is crucial for quick review of the component, both as admin and as component owner.

The current JQL was always there and will be there in 2 clicks away as well while for the summary you need much more if you have >100 components and > 6 owners.

I'll be happy to share with you how it looks in our env' - as it really makes life harder.

Anyway, thanks for the quick feedback,

Yaron

Yaron,

The Component Summary page and link have been deprecated since JIRA 6.4, when we released a different UI model (which includes the sidebar view on your projects).

Now, when you attempt to do the same procedure to go to the Component Summary, (Project Sidebar >> Components >> Your_Component), you instead get brought to an Issue Navigator, where you can further tailor the JQL query shown. The idea is that the previous Component Summary was not configurable by users, so if the information shown wasn't formatted the way the user wanted, they would be out of luck. Now, using the Issue Navigator, the users have the flexibility to configure the results themselves.

I hope this answers your question Yaron,
