Gadget Display

Once configured and added to the dashboard, the Advanced Activity Stream gadget provides a clean, responsive, and information-rich view of real-time Jira activity. The layout is designed to prioritize readability, traceability, and interaction for daily project monitoring and team awareness.

📐 Display Modes

The Advanced Activity Stream offers several display modes to suit different user needs, allowing for a streamlined or detailed view of activities.

• Simple View
  This mode presents activities in a concise format. It only shows the essentials: the user's avatar, the action performed, and the issue number. Simple view is ideal for users who need a quick and clean overview of activity.

Open

• Detailed View
  This mode displays additional information under each activity, including updated fields, comments, logged work, and other changes related to the issues. The detailed view is perfect for users who need a more in-depth analysis of each action in the activity stream.

• Compact View
  This mode combines the simplicity of the Simple View with a compact presentation of additional information, offering a balance between brevity and detail.

These modes can be easily toggled using the buttons located at the top-right corner of the gadget, giving users the flexibility to monitor activity according to their preferences.

📅 Grouped by Date

Activities are chronologically grouped using natural date indicators such as:

• Today

• Yesterday

• Monday, Tuesday...

This temporal grouping helps users quickly locate relevant updates from recent working days or sprints.

👤 User Attribution & Action Summary

Each activity entry starts with:

• User avatar or initials

• Full name or display name

• The action performed, written in natural language

These blocks immediately answer the question:
➡️ Who did what, and on which issue?

🔗 Issue Key & Summary

Directly following the action line:

• The issue key (ESH4-22391) is fully clickable

• The summary of the issue is displayed in lighter text, offering immediate context without leaving the dashboard

✅ Clicking the key opens the Jira issue in a new browser tab.

📋 Action Details

Detailed information is shown below the main action, including:

• Updated fields and new values (Remaining Estimate changed to 0m)

• Logged work entries (1h logged)

• Added or edited comments (inline or summarized)

• Status transitions (e.g., In Progress → Done)

• Other tracked changes based on the selected activities in configuration

The details appear in indented, nested lines under each main action, preserving clarity.

🧩 Interactive Shortcuts

Each entry ends with contextual interaction options:

• 🗨️ Comment – Open the issue and focus on the comment field

• 👍 Vote – Add a vote to the issue

• 👁️ Watch – Start watching the issue for future updates

Open

These quick-access links streamline common Jira actions directly from the dashboard.

🔁 Stream Navigation & Lazy Loading

At the bottom of the gadget:

• A “Show more...” button lets users load older activity items incrementally

• The stream does not auto-load everything at once, keeping dashboard performance optimized

This is ideal for users scanning recent changes without overwhelming the interface.
