Gadgets

A gadget script is shown in the Script Toolkit Gadget on Jira dashboards. Like a fragment, it runs in the viewer's browser and calls Jira as the viewer, so each person sees their own data.

Add a gadget to a dashboard

1. In Scripts, create a script of kind Gadget and save it.
2. Open a dashboard, click Edit → Add gadget, and add Script Toolkit Gadget.
3. In the gadget's Edit screen, pick your script and save.

Each gadget on a dashboard can show a different script. Anyone who can edit the dashboard can choose among your enabled gadget scripts; only Jira admins can write them.

What a gadget can use

The same globals as a fragment: requestJira, setHeight, showFlag, router, theme and context. Use setHeight so the gadget grows to fit its content.

If a gadget shows a message instead

Message	Why
Edit this gadget to choose which Script Toolkit script it shows.	No script chosen yet
The script this gadget shows is disabled or was deleted.	Enable the script again, or choose another

You can preview a gadget script in the editor's Test tab before adding it to a dashboard.
