Using Favourites

This page contains instructions on using the 'Favourites' feature in FishEye to select, view and manage items of interest.

On this page:

Favourites Overview

FishEye allows you to tag certain items as your favourites. You can select changesets, files, people and repositories to be added to your favourites. Once your favourites list is created, you can view it or see a stream of all activity relating to your favourite items. We suggest you select items that you are currently working on as favourites, to create a more relevant personalised view.

Adding Items to Your Favourites

To add an item to your favourites, follow one of the steps below.

Adding a Person to Your Favourites

To add a person to your favourites, simply hold the mouse cursor over their username wherever it appears. The User Hover menu will appear. In the User Hover menu, click 'Follow'. This will add the person to your favourites.

Adding a Changeset to Your Favourites

To add a changeset to your favourites, firstly open the changeset desired from the 'Source' tab. Once the changeset is open, simply click the grey star icon that appears next to its name. The name appears in the breadcrumb links at the top of the screen.

Renaming an Item In Your Favourites

To rename an item in your favourites, open the Favourites drop-down menu (the gold star icon located at the top centre of the FishEye screen, next to your user menu). Select the option called 'Manage favourites'. The Dashboard favourites page opens, showing all of your favourites in the system. To rename any item (changing its favourite display name only — not the name of item itself), simply click the yellow star to the left of its name. A small pop-up menu will appear, the 'Update Favourites' menu. Type the desired name into the 'Name' field and click the 'Save label' button. The label will be updated for the favourites view.
