Release pages & Widgets are special type of release notes. Given that they work a bit differently, here we are creating step by step guides for getting started. Once you understand how they work, you can do your own customisations on top of what is explained below.
Here’s what the page looks like when there are no release pages or widgets created yet.
Release page - Step by step guide
Step 1 - Click on ‘Create’ & you’ll be brought to the following screen. Pay close attention to the information provided.
Name - This is the title of release page that appears to the end user.
Description - This is the subtitle that appears on the release page. (you can keep this one empty, if you’d like)
Logo - Upload logo file (use an image with transparent background & square dimensions)
Choose background & text colors for the header.
Release page content - This is the JQL similar to what you use within ARN templates' JQL section. Just use the default one for now.
Provide further details
Upload favicon of 48x48 size (note that only .ico files are allowed, you can use any online converters for this)
Path - This is the path of your release page. Complete URL will be visible immediately below the path textbox.
Enabled - Keep it on.
Final set of fields (right now only single template is available, later on you’d be able to change the template)
Title - You can use one or more variables here. Full list of variables is here - Customising template with visual builder. This field can be kept empty.
Subtitle - You can use one or more variables here. Full list of variables is here - Customising template with visual builder. This field can be kept empty.
Field 1 - For the sake of easiness, choose summary.
Field 2 - Choose issue type from the dropdown.
Field 3 - Pick up description from the selector.
Step 2 - Now that all mandatory configurations are filled out, click on save.
Step 3 - To ensure everything is set up correctly, copy the page url & open it in a browser tab. Since the release page doesn’t have any data yet, this is how it will look like.
Step 4 - Half the battle is won. Now you must set up a rule to populate information on this release page. Head over to the Rules tab & click on Create. Provide appropriate name for the rule & choose ‘Manual’ trigger.
Step 6 - Click on ‘Add release page action’ & choose the relevant release page.
Step 7 - Now run the rule manually by providing it a version. This is how it will look like.
Step 8 - Click on Ok & wait for about 30 seconds for the rule to be executed. (Assuming selected version has issues associated with it) the release page will now display the data. It will look like this. (For troubleshooting, look at the logs tab & see if you see any failure messages)
