JIRA Requirements: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 JIRA currently has a dashboard feature called Portal Pages which allows configuring of user's home screens to show commonly used reports and other issue statistics. One or more pages can be created which contain preconfigured queries or custom queries and can also display charts and graphs. There is a default dashboard page for each user to start with. Bugzilla has something similar called "My Front Page" which contains some commonly used reports as well as custom reports that user's can enable from their saved searches. It does not however support displaying of charts or graphs based on the queried data. Bugzilla also has a product browser page that displays some common statistics based on product. These include counts based on status, severity, assignee, popularity, duplicates, and by component. Proposed Solution(s): Improve Bugzilla's my front page to be more flexible allowing display of data in list, chart, pie, etc. formats. Add additional commonly used reports to match those available in JIRA and allow adding/removing them from a user's front page display. Maybe even make the front page the default home page if the user is currently logged in.

If Dashboard is defined as the "being able to customize content via 'portal pages'" then I do not have any objections about postponing that.

How hard would it be to do the visual break down on these queries instead of showing them raw and then have a link on the page giving you the option to show the raw query (that is what the "eye" does in jira) ?

We are still missing some additional tabs such as calendar, labels, and subversion commits. Calendar and labels I don't use - others might ?
I have made some recent updates to the product browser to allow some additional functionality similar to the project browser in JIRA. Now when you go to the Product Browser in Bugzilla and click on any of the component/version/milestone names in the stats list, it will take you to a summary page that shows the following. 1. List of bugs that are past due (current date is after the bug's set deadline) 2. List of bugs that were recently updated You can go from there and see a full list of bugs as before. Please take a look and see if this is closer to what you were describing in your comments before. I have installed the new code for these changes on our other test server, bz-web1-test.devel.redhat.com: https://bz-web1-test.devel.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=browse.html&tab=components&product=JBoss%20Enterprise%20Application%20Platform&bug_status=all Dave
For example (for BRMS), this is the page we have https://bz-web2-test.devel.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=browse.html&tab=components&product=JBoss+Enterprise+BRMS+Platform&bug_status=all Does this meet your needs, or are more changes required? -- simon
Clean-up task from the March 9 2011 Bugzilla / BRMS Pilot Meeting This bugzilla has been marked as ON_QA - we need to verify that the changes made to https://bz-web2-test.devel.redhat.com/ are acceptable and that this bugzilla can be closed. Please verify the change and close (or re-open) this bugzilla by March 15 2011. Thx!
Closing - this is implemented.
