Display Agile Task Planning Board on Homepage or Dashboard

[dkvasak]

Is there a way to show a developer's current sprint story or task planning board upon login? I have a requirement to show a "Kanban" board when developers log in. So far, I haven't seen a way to do this through dashboards or the homepage and my attempts have been unsuccessful. Any guidance is appreciated !

Hi Denise,

I'm assuming you're using ServiceNow's visual task boards as Kanban boards. I don't know if this is a long-term solution as ServiceNow is pushing us towards the dashboards instead of the homepages, but technically you can add a content block of type iFrame on a homepage (Content Blocks --> *New iFrame), and you can paste the URL of a visual task board in the iFrame configuration. Set that homepage to be the user's homepage on login, and this will display the Kanban board for them.

Thanks Dave - this is along the lines of what I wanted. I'm having issues with IFrames, but I think your answer is what I'm looking for!

Good to hear! And good luck with your IFrame issues. In case you don't know, because I found it less than obvious: The way to edit the IFrame content block after you've created it is to go to the Content Management > Specialty Content > iFrames in the ServiceNow navigation menu. They're not under Homepage Admin.

Thanks! I figured out where to edit, I just can't get it to display without trying to load ALL of ServiceNow (navigation) included and then break and display a blank page. I've opened another question for it
