New in Magic Suite 4.7: ProMagic Boards

Magic Suite 4.7 brings ProMagic Boards: Jira Kanban boards shared with your organisation, so you can see where your work stands without leaving Magic Suite.

The boards that matter to you

Your Panoramic Data administrator can now choose which Jira Kanban boards your organisation sees, including boards that span several projects.

Cards that look like Jira’s

ProMagic Boards are built to match the Jira board you would see:

  • Each card shows the fields the Jira board shows on its cards, such as the status and project, with a tooltip naming each one.
  • Cards are in the same order as on the Jira board.
  • The issue type and priority appear as icons at the bottom of the card.
  • The coloured bar on the left of each card uses the same priority colours as the Jira board.
  • The epic an issue belongs to is shown as a coloured label under the summary, in the epic’s own colour.
  • In the last column, such as Done, the board says how many issues it shows out of all of them when it leaves out ones finished a while ago, and the key of a resolved issue is struck through.

Faster to open

ProMagic’s Projects and Issues pages and Kanban boards now open faster. The first load can still take some time, but after that they are kept in a cache that is refreshed in the background, so later visits open straight away.

Easier to raise an issue

The Create Issue form has two improvements:

  • It preselects the project your organisation has been raising issues against most recently, instead of the first one in the list.
  • You can choose who a new issue is assigned to when you create it, or leave it unassigned.

If you would like a board shared with your organisation, get in touch with us and we will set it up.
