Use Configuration History to review a Vansah gadget’s saved settings and restore an earlier setup. This is useful when you want to undo a change to the gadget’s reporting scope or filters.
Before you begin
You need access to the Jira dashboard and the gadget. Restoring requires dashboard owner or edit access.
The gadget must have a saved configuration history. Vansah returns up to the 50 most recent saved versions.
Note the current version before restoring so you can identify it again if it remains in the available history.
Restoring replaces the gadget’s active settings. It affects the shared gadget on the dashboard, so consider other people who use that report.
Open Configuration History
Open the Jira dashboard containing the Vansah gadget.
In the gadget’s report view, open its more options (⋯) menu.
Select Configuration History.
Use the menu inside the Vansah report. Maximizing the gadget is optional and can make the controls easier to see.
Choose and restore a version
Check the selected version in the history dialog. When available in the returned history, the gadget’s current version is selected.
Open the version dropdown and choose the saved version you want to use. Version labels include the saved date and time.
Review the displayed configuration details, including the Jira space, work item selection, filters, and other settings shown for that gadget.
Select Restore. The restore starts immediately; review the selected version before clicking.
Wait for the success message and the report to reload.
Select Close if you only want to inspect the history without restoring anything.
Check the restored report
Confirm that the expected Jira space, reporting scope, and filters are active. Use Configure to inspect them if needed.
Check the report results using the restored settings. Current Test Cases, Test Runs, permissions, and available Jira data determine the displayed results.
If you need a different setup, restore another available version or edit the gadget and save the required settings.
Configuration History restores settings. It does not recover a deleted Jira dashboard or gadget, deleted Test Cases, or an earlier snapshot of testing data. Report totals may differ from the totals shown when the version was originally saved.
If you cannot restore the expected setup
Issue | What to check |
Configuration History is not visible | Open the gadget’s report view and check its internal more options menu. Availability depends on the gadget. |
The expected version is missing | The list contains up to 50 recent saved versions for this gadget. Check that you opened the correct gadget. |
Restore fails | Confirm that you own the dashboard or have edit access. Reload the gadget and try again after checking the selected version. |
Restored filters return no results | Check access to the selected Jira space and whether the referenced work items, Test Folders, and filter values still exist. |
The report does not match its earlier totals | The configuration is restored, while the report uses available testing data. Review changes to that data and the saved filters. |
