On Notications menu (Bell Icon), "Switch to Grouped View" is not available for a certain Jira User

[Hiago Miguel]

A few users have this dropdown menu available:

But for a certain user, this menu is not available:

Is this a Bug? Or something configurable? 

Kind regards,

Hiago

Sort of. It's in Jira 6. You can get a basic one in 5.1, but it's non-configurable and untested (properly - seems fine to me), and a better version in 5.2

Have a look through https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/140594/general-menu-for-jira-and-confluence

Thanks Nic. Just curious...JIRA 6? I don't even see that listed in the EAP documentation. How does one get access (even just to test it out) to JIRA 6?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Hmm, it's in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/EAP+Releases and, of course, Atlassian are running it on their support site and OnDemand.

Usual advice applices - don't whack that into production until it's properly released, otherwise a bug might bite and you might not be able to migrate from it to a full release without some pain...

[Justin Corcoran]

Thanks again...I got to EAP a different way, and was clearly limiting myself to 5.2 and before: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA052/EAP+Releases

Thanks for the better link.

I don't know that it was "better", just the bookmark I've got squirrelled away ;-)

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ah, no, to get started with it, you don't mess with files - go to Jira -> Admin -> General Settings -> Advanced - that's where to enable dark features.

[Justin Corcoran]

So, I can't find the file mentioned: AdvancedApplicationProperties.jspa

I have "advancedproperties.jsp" and "applicationproperties.jsp" and neither seem to have the "dark features" line. Any ideas? I'm looking in C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA\atlassian-jira\secure\admin\jira\views as there were no similar files in the root of the "admin" folder.

[Justin Corcoran]

thanks so much!

This enhancement: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31165 seems to be what I'm asking for...but I'm hoping someone has a workaround for the short term.
