In addition to the comprehensive new JIRA shortcuts, GreenHopper 5.3 introduces an improved set of shortcuts and keyboard-activated dialog boxes.

To view a list of GreenHopper's keyboard shortcuts, select 'Keyboard Shortcuts' from your username dropdown at the top-right of the screen. This reveals all of GreenHopper's available keyboard shortcuts in a dialog box:

  • Note: GreenHopper's keyboard shortcuts feature can be enabled or disabled from this dialog box.

One-Click Wallboards

A wallboard is a type of information radiator that displays vital data about the progress of the development team. Similar to a scoreboard at a sporting event, wallboards are large, highly visible and easily understood by anyone walking by.

Traditional wallboards are made of paper or use sticky notes on a wall. Electronic wallboards are very effective since they update automatically with real-time data, ensuring that people check back regularly.

If you have installed the JIRA Wallboards Plugin, you can display a JIRA dashboard as a wallboard. And in GreenHopper 5.3, you can now create an Agile-specific wallboard in a single click!

See the GreenHopper 101 for details.

 

Customisable Printing

When you print a collection of cards, GreenHopper 5.3 displays a popup where you can choose:

  • header information (i.e. which fields to include)
  • number of cards per printed page

Card Background Colour

By popular request, we are re-introducing the ability to display the entire card (not just its header) in the mapped colour for the card's issue type. To colour your entire cards, go to <Tools><User Preferences><General> and select 'Background Colour' (under 'Look and Feel') β€” see Managing your User Preferences.
