Create a project page component

Put information and resources in your users' hands with project page components.

For example, to let people know about important new developments, create a news component. To enable project members to find tracker items quickly, create a query component.
  1. On the project page, click Configure: On.
  2. Click Add new component.
  3. Give your new component a title. Keep the title brief and descriptive.
  4. Select the type of component you need.
    Documents
    Let project members exchange and review documents from the project page.
    Project Metrics
    Show charts optimized for measuring progress on an agile project.
    Project News
    Maintain a journal or blog about your project, share information, make announcements.
    Project Statistics
    Put visual measures of your project activities on the page.
    Text
    Use this all-purpose component to write free-form messages, reports or rants, in plain text or HTML.
    Tracker Search Results
    Make saved search results available from the project page.
    Wiki Page
    Open up your project page to two-way communication.
  5. Choose who can see this component.
    • To show this component to anyone with the necessary permissions, select Visible.

      For example, if you have defined a group of users who have access to trackers in your project, a query component will be visible only to those users. If your project's trackers are open to anyone, all users who view this project page will see the query component. Use this option when you are sure the component is ready for general use.

    • To keep this component under wraps until you are ready to show it, select Hidden.

      Now only users with the project administrator role can see this component. Use this option if you are drafting content that you aren't ready to share yet, or want to share only with other project managers.

  6. Specify the location of this component on the project page.
  7. Click Configure: Off.
