Time in Status (Forge) for Jira CloudHow panel visibility works
Time in Status (Forge) provides four types of issue panels:
- Time in Status panel - status time breakdown
- Stopwatch panel - stopwatch state and time
- Timer panel - timer state, goal, and time left
- Activity panel - status reports on the Activity tab
By default, no panels are visible. You need to enable them for the projects and issue types where you want them to appear.
Panel visibility is controlled through a Jira property called tis-cloud-panels. This property can be set at two levels:
- App level - applies to all projects (global default)
- Project level - overrides the app-level setting for a specific project
The tis-cloud-panels property
The property is a JSON object with four keys:
{
"tis": ["*"],
"sw": ["*"],
"tmr": ["10001", "10002"],
"act": ["*"]
}
Each key controls one panel type:
| Key | Panel |
|---|---|
tis |
Time in Status panel |
sw |
Stopwatch panel |
tmr |
Timer panel |
act |
Activity panel |
Each value is an array of issue type IDs for which the panel should be visible:
["*"]- visible for all issue types["10001", "10002"]- visible only for specific issue type IDs[]or key absent - not visible
Configuring visibility
From the admin panel
The app provides a way to manage panel visibility from the admin panel. When you configure web panels in the Time in Status, Stopwatch, or Timer tabs, the app automatically syncs the visibility settings.
You can also use the Sync panel visibility action to update the visibility configuration across all projects.
How the display condition works
The app uses Jira’s displayConditions.jiraExpression to check visibility. For each panel, Jira evaluates:
- Does the project have a
tis-cloud-panelsproperty with this panel type enabled for this issue type? - If not, does the app have a global
tis-cloud-panelsproperty with this panel type enabled?
If either check passes, the panel is displayed.
Examples
Enable all panels for all projects
Set the app-level property:
{
"tis": ["*"],
"sw": ["*"],
"tmr": ["*"],
"act": ["*"]
}
Enable only Time in Status and Activity panels
{
"tis": ["*"],
"act": ["*"]
}
Enable Timer panel only for Bug issue type in a specific project
Set the project-level property for that project:
{
"tmr": ["10001"]
}
Where 10001 is the issue type ID for Bug.
Tips
- Web panels vs panel visibility: Creating a web panel in the admin panel defines what the panel shows (which statuses, calendar, format). Panel visibility controls where it appears (which projects and issue types). You need both.
- Issue type IDs: To find issue type IDs, go to Jira Settings > Issues > Issue types, and check the URL when clicking an issue type.
- Changes may be cached: Jira may cache panel visibility. Changes usually appear within a few minutes. Refreshing the issue page can help.
