Cross tracker search is a major milestone for Tuleap and it opens a door for a lot of use case that were not thought at its inception.
The most important changes are
- Cross tracker search is not limited to experts that want to get insights on complex multi-tracker, multi-projects set of data. It will be the default view of artifacts and trackers for most users.
- It will be the root of SuperKanban. Initially SuperKanban was thought as a Kanban with the possibility to see artifacts from different trackers. But it's now a Kanban view of cross tracker search query result.
For those reasons, there is a need to get cross tracker search more accessible to less tech-saavy users.
There are two approaches:
- Having a graphical way to perform search that abstracts the TQL query.
- Having pre-configured dashboards that will propose various ways of configuring widgets for business specific needs.
