This extension allows users to filter specific comments in artifacts in Modules. You can specify what comments Contains, who is the Author, from when to when the comment was updated, if it's resolved and what's its' priority.
User interface
Description
This extension, developed by Softacus, allows a quick and easy overview of all the comments in the displayed module. This extension allows users to not only display comments within a module as in DNG, but allows users to filter specific comments. The user can filter comments based on the author, from when to when the comment was updated, whether it is resolved and what is its priority. The user can select all options or only some in their various combinations or not select any filter. In case the user does not select any filter, the widget will create a report of all comments that are in the module. This whole solution is space-saving - it is displayed directly in the widget added to your mini dashboard. The created report contains information: ID and title of the artifact.
Problem to solve
The current implementation of DNG only allows filtering of comments with "exists" or "does not exist". Tracking comment attributes based on specific user needs is currently time and labor-intensive in DNG. This extension allows you to filter many more comment attributes to find the commented artifact based on your needs. Softacus has developed an extension that allows users to filter comment attributes. Thanks to this extension, the user has the opportunity to get a quick overview of the attributes of comments based on specific options directly in the widget in the user's mini dashboard.
Features
