My favorites

[gregkaczan]

Hi,

I would like to propose a feature to be able to favorite a branch/project/build and see it on a home page, next to list of all projects.
This would create kind of personalized dashboard which i can use to track all of my points of interests at once without having to keep separate tabs (and need to search/open them each time).

Each thing Favorited should be possible to be shown in simplified way. Meaning i don't need all the steps of a branch's pipeline on my Home page, just the status of latest build, promotion level, timings etc.

FYI, you can already select Projects as favourites. But it's sometimes too verbose, and your approach sounds more scalable.

To select a project as a favourite, click on a star on the left of its name. A "Favourites" section will then appear.

As mentioned, I think your idea is better. Any kind of object should be selectable as a favourite.

@GrzegorzKaczan , what do you think? Does it make sense to have a build as a favorite? I was thinking of having only branches & projects being selectable.

I would then display the favorite projects in the home page (as of today) and the favourite branches both in the home page & in the project page.

As of the information for the different elements:

• project - latest build for each branch in the model (since 3.37, each project has a branching model) - this would reduce the number of branches considerably
• branch - latest build, latest promotions (with timestamp)

I'll start with the assumption this is OK - but tell me if you have other ideas.

My main concern was that, in my opinion, it would not make too much sense in having one build as a favorite since this is a very transient thing.

Particular build as fav? don't think so, as you said those are temporary things and removed from jenkins in rotation anyway.
What you wrote is exactly what i wanted, go for it.
