How to set up a slideshow

Share your dashboard panel as set of more than one slide, each one with meaningful metrics and KPIs

Overview

Dashboard panels are critical to transmitting information to your team. To keep individual panels as clear as possible, avoid overcluttering your dashboards with too many gadgets. When you have a lot of information that you want to share, you can use a slideshow instead. Each slide can be used to display a meaningful metric or KPI.

Set up a slideshow

To add slides to your dashboard panel, access to your Dashboard settings in the top right … menu:

Select the Slideshow tab.
Set the Default time. This is the length of time that all the slides will be displayed on the screen by default. When the time is up, the slides move to the next one.
Click + Add Empty Slide to add more slides to your slideshow. You can set individual time periods for each one of the slides.
If you need to remove an individual slide, click the Delete button.
Click Save.

Reorder slides

To reorder the slides in your dashboard, drag the slide you want to move to your preferred order in the slideshow.

Slideshow mode

When you view a dashboard with more than one slide, a Play button appears in the middle of the top navigation bar.

Tables in the JQL Custom Charts gadget auto scroll when the slideshow is playing, so viewers can see the content without interaction.

Enable automatic table scrolling when the slideshow is in play mode.

This is also the default mode that users see when accessing to a dashboard using a public link (see Share a dashboard with a public link to learn how to share a dashboard externally). It’s optimized for large screens or TVs, check How to set up a wallboard for further information).
