About the Confluence Dashboards Plugin

The Confluence Dashboards Plugin allows you to put all your key information on a single personalised, customisable homepage. Whether it be RSS feeds, Wiki pages, macros, external web pages or OpenSocial Gadgets, they can all be added to your page. You can then arrange the page however you want, and all changes will be remembered, ready for when you next view it.

Here's a summary of the key features of the plugin:

Save time and effort finding and keeping up to date with the content you're interested in...

  • Aggregate all of your Wiki info on a single personalised page
  • Customise the content and layout of the page, and it will be remembered.
  • Add RSS feeds, embed Wiki pages, Macros, OpenSocial Gadgets and Widgets all within boxes on your page
  • Store reminders, notes, task lists and show charts, photo galleries, page-trees and widgets like weather maps and activity lists

Customise your page however you want...

  • Drag 'n drop to re-arrange the boxes, minimise, refresh, edit and close them
  • Edit feeds by re-naming them, choose to open links in a new window, alter the number of items displayed or just show article titles
  • Save time by previewing your changes before saving

The pages load quickly and are under your control...

  • The contents of boxes can be automatically cached for quick loading
  • Always see the latest content with transparent background caching of content
  • Customise the look and feel of the boxes with css or one of the built-in themes
  • Set some boxes as un-movable, disable the ability to close or minimise them
  • Create a table of contents - let users choose from a library of pre-defined feeds, widgets and gadgets

The plugin is scheduled for public release in June, but you can get your hands on a free beta release for a limited time (only 1 week left!) and vote for it in Atlassian's Codegeist competition. (don't forget to vote!)
