Can I display a JPD Roadmap view on a Confluence page?

[Amanda Barber]

We have some Customer Success folks who would benefit from seeing the roadmap view that we've created, but they do not currently have JIRA access. Is there a way to embed the view I've created into a Confluence page (similar to how you can embed Jira roadmaps?) Or, is this on the radar for the future? I'd like something that can automatically update as things change on the JPD board, so I'd prefer not to need to export an image and update that image in Confluence regularly. Thanks!

Hi all, the part where this works for people without a Jira license is being actively worked on right now. It's coming!

[Zac Coleman]

That's excellent news. Thanks for letting us know! 

[Karen Rebello]

Do you have an ETA? Is it planned for this quarter?

[Tanguy Crusson]

We never communicate dates - we've been doing this for a while and as soon as you post a date in a public forum, Murphy's law hits hard, or Dementors start appearing out of nowhere. Sometimes even he who shall not be named himself. 

So: we're working on it, 3 out of the 4 founding engineers of Jira Product Discovery are on this. It's very important for you and for us. 

[Mikael Sandberg · Accepted solution]

Yes, that is possible. All you have to do is go to the Roadmap view, click on Share and copy the URL and then past the URL directly onto the Confluence page (don't use the link macro) and that will add the view similar to this:

Sorry, missed the part about Jira access. The above only works for users that have Jira access at the moment, but hopefully that will change in the future.

[Amanda Barber]

Thanks so much, @Mikael Sandberg - that's helpful! Hopefully in the future, we can change who can see this view but I appreciate your response! Of course, now that you've explained it, it's so obvious that this would do the trick, haha!

We have noticed that while the embed is working 🥳 The links within the embed do not 😥 On hover the "links" show the appropriate hand icon, but are non-clickable.

Is this an issue others have seen? I have replicated the behaviour in Chrome, Safari, Brave and Firefox. 

@Tanguy Crusson and team, is this a known issue? JQL Filter embeds have been implemented with clickable links.

Cheers,

Justin

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Justin Koke that's a limitation of the current solution. We're super close to releasing a new way to share JPD views (with anyone who has an Atlassian account, even if they're not in the site) and as part of that we're going to change how the embeds work.

[Zac Coleman]

I have a similar requirement to provide visibility for internal stakeholders that don't have a JIRA license.

[Sufian Siddiqi]

Hey @Tanguy Crusson @Mikael Sandberg I just noticed the above now only embeds the links in confluence. It doesn't expand into a the roadmap view anymore.

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Sufian Siddiqi it still works for me. Can you please share the URL you're trying to paste in the Confluence page? I'd like to check its format

[Sufian Siddiqi]

@Tanguy Crusson yes, it's the link I got from Share > Copy Link

[Tanguy Crusson]

OK, I see what's going on. You have the new "share" experience turned on (that's only used by ~30 customers today in preview).

For this to work today you'll have to copy the URL from your browser's tab. 

We're going to fix this, thanks!

[Sufian Siddiqi]

@Tanguy Crusson tried that too..all we get is the URL hyperlinked on the confluence page 

[Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte]

Hi  @Tanguy Crusson , I also have the same problem as @Sufian Siddiqi . I get the URL hyperlinked on a confluence page, but I cannot see the view itself embedded in Confluence...

The link I tried to copy, resultant from the share and copy of a view:  https://inditex.atlassian.net/jira/polaris/projects/POPS/ideas/view/3511957?fullscreen=true

[Tanguy Crusson]

Thanks, I've asked the team to investigate

[Alex Spence]

@Sufian Siddiqi @Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte Sorry you're facing this issue, thank you for reporting it

We think we found the problem: if you share a fullscreen mode view (see `?fullscreen=true` in your URL) it will not convert into an embed.

Rest assured we'll fix this, but for the time being you may use the view as an embed if it does not contain `fullscreen=true` in the URL, i.e. try copying the URL not in fullscreen

Hopefully this solves the problem

[Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte]

@Alex Spence thank you for working on it.

The problem persists however when using the link: https://inditex.atlassian.net/jira/polaris/projects/POPS/ideas/view/3511957

[Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte]

@Tanguy Crusson in our case the embed is still not working :(

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte would you mind doing a screen recording and sending it to tcrusson@atlassian.com ? We discussed and think there are different reasons this could happen but it's hard to validate with more info. Thanks!

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte Thank you for sending a Loom! I see what's going on there. The solution is pretty simple: 

instead of clicking to add a link to the page and give it a name, etc. -- Just paste the link in the page (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-V or Cmd-V, or mouse right-click > paste). The link will be recognized by Confluence and the view will be embedded

[Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte]

Hello @Tanguy Crusson , it still doesn't work :(.

I can send you a loom for you to see it...

[Tanguy Crusson]

Yep, unfortunately I understood what your problem is and we can't solve it today: that's because you use Jira Product Discovery in the Cloud and Confluence Server (self-hosted). It doesn't work in that case (only Cloud to Cloud)

[Adriana Domínguez Eguiarte]

Thank you @Tanguy Crusson for all your help! Is the solution to this problem in your backlog and if yes, do you have an estimation about when the solution to this problem could come? Just to know if we are talking about a few months, more than a year, years...

[Melanie Kostarakis]

Hi @Tanguy Crusson I have been going through all the comments on these posts, and we have a similar requirement, to share JPD Roadmap with Stakeholders that do not have Atlassian Access. Reading all of the above I am unclear if this is an option yet and/or if it is part of your upcoming releases?

In addition, we also have a requirement to allow for stakeholders also to post ideas also without an Atlassian access - so same question as above: is this an option yet and/or if it is part of your upcoming releases?

Thanks a lot in advance and please let me know if this is not the right forum for this request
