Help documentation

URLs for pages are simple - they are always in this format:

/projects/project_identifier/wiki/page_name

• Here page_name should be replaced by the canonicalized name for the page you are linking to, that is with all lowercase and spaces replaced by underscores (e.g. "My page" becomes "my_page").
• and Link Name can be any text you wish to display in the header.

To obtain the URL of a page, navigate to the page and copy the URL from your browser.

• Pages:

  /projects/project_identifier/wiki

  This references the root page, which lists all pages in your Mingle project, and is also available in the Project admin tab Pages link.

• My work:

  /projects/project_identifier/wiki/My_Work

  This references a user created page called 'My Work'. In this case the page could hold a table which uses the special value (current user) to present cards which are assigned to the currently logged in user.

URLs for new cards are more complicated. The URLs to create a new card need to be in the following format:

/projects/email_application/cards/new?properties[Type]=defect&properties[Status]=new&properties[Release]=R1

This URL would create a card of type defect with a status of "new" in Release "R1". There are further examples below.

• New bug:

  /projects/project_identifier/cards/new?properties[status]=new&properties[type]=bug

  This action will create a new instance of a bug card, with the status property set to 'new' and open it for editing. The access key combination in Firefox would be Alt+Shift+b

• New story:

  /projects/project_identifier/cards/new?properties[status]=new&properties[type]=story

  This action will create a new instance of a story card, with the status property set to 'new' and open it for editing. The access key combination in Firefox would be Alt+Shift+s

• New risk:

  /projects/project_identifier/cards/new?properties[status]=new&properties[type]=risk

  This action will create a new instance of a risk card, with the status property set to 'new' and open it for editing. The access key combination in Firefox would be Alt+Shift+r

1. Identify which quick header links you'd like to create and take a note of their URLs.

2. Sign in to Mingle and open the project for which to add quick header links (if you're not already working in this project).

   You don't need to sign in as a project or Mingle administrator.

3. Navigate to the Special:HeaderActions page. In your browser's address bar, type http://your_domain/projects/your_project_name/wiki/Special:HeaderActions and press [Enter]. Where your_domain is the location of Mingle in your organization and your_project_name is your project's name (i.e. the name Mingle assigns your project when first creating the project). If you currently have Mingle open you should be able to see this information in your browser's address bar.

   Mingle displays a new blank page, (unless you've already created the Special:HeaderActions page previously, in which case you will need to hit the Edit link to edit the existing page)

4. Type or paste the URLs for your quick links into this page.

5. Click the Save link.

   Mingle displays the new quick header links at the top of your project page and creates a new page called Special:HeaderActions.

6. Test whether your new quick header links work as intended. If not, double-check the URLs and repeat.
