Description

Hi,

I need to create a custom view for the project I work with. We have a lot of tasks and bugs and very little time to fix, so we need a way to visualize those tasks such as to take more informed decisions while prioritizing their fixing.

What I'm doing now is using a phriction wiki page which contains a table with the area of the application and the tasks / bugs in that area, e.g

AreaBugs from client supportBugs from our internal teamFeature requests
RegistrationT123, T143, T345, T...T122, T434T342
LoginT11, T1343, T4343, T...T98, T78
TasksT3222, T543, T43, T...

...

The thing is that is quite of a pain to keep the page up to date, as a lot of new tasks come every day. So I'm looking for ways to automate this. I've been thinking of creating a custom select field in Maniphest for the areas and create dedicated queries for each of them. It would be awesome to:

  1. have a way to configure the query results to show only the ids of the tasks
  2. have a way to embed the query result in a phriction wiki page or a dashboard panel.

Let me know if you have other ideas on how to implement this dashboard.

Have a lovely evening!

I actually came here to suggest practically the same thing. I like what @adinnaplus is saying, custom queries for dashboards / workboards would be absolutely amazing.

Something that would be amazing if it was implemented is a way to embed a workboard into a Phriction document, the same way we embed pastes, etc. Could this please please please be a thing? D:

You can already build a custom query as a Dashboard and embed it in Remarkup. As far as providing additional 'views', we're not pursuing any at this time.

@chad what about being able to add filters for tasks and the like in dashboards so you can put tasks for project x on the wiki page for the same project without having all of your other projects, etc, showing? Is there any chance that something like that will be implemented?

chad claimed this task.
chad added a project: Workboards.

Generally speaking, Phriction isn't our Product Management app. Workboards are, and maybe Dashboards to some other extent. We'd rather improve these to cover use cases that fit maybe how your company works, rather than pursue edge case use in Remarkup or Phriction. We have a lot planned around Workboards, and it is one of products we really want to have cover a lot of cases. Please take a look at Workboards and see what already is planned, and if something you'd think would benefit many Phabricator users is missing, feel free to file.

We don't have plans to add filters to Dashboards around what Project they belong to. Mostly, we're going to do away with that project magic since it's a permissions issue, and secondly we'd prefer to solve T5558 instead.

I'm going to close this as 'Wontfix' primarily because we don't have plans to pursue additional Dashboard Panel Types at this time, but it should be reasonable to modify your local code for your needs there.

Replacing Project Pages with a customizable Dashboard seems like it'd solve most of these cases, at least.
