More compact columns for showing last success and failure. |
These columns take the "Last Success" and "Last Failure" columns and combine them into one easier to understand, and real-estate friendly column. You can click on the status links to go to that build, and can hover over the link to see additional information in the tool-tip.
Based on the configuration options you choose, you can get columns like these examples.
Even in this small screen-shot you can see how busy the "Last Success" and "Last Failure" columns are. Quite frankly, it's hard to really get the information you need "at a glance" like you should.
The problem is compounded if you have many jobs and scroll down and lose the column headers. You can't remember which column is for which information.
This becomes even more useful when you are using some of the plugins that provide additional columns (e.g. Maven Info Plugin) or alternate view layouts (e.g. Sectioned View Plugin).
Follow these steps
This screenshot shows what this configuration looks like. It is a little different than most columns because you can configure the details per-view. For example, you could have one view that shows the job name with color turned on, and another view that has the color turned off.
