Can I display a link to the current user's profile in a dashboard widget?
![]()
V3.0.1.4
End goal is to encourage more users to actively manage their team allocations and scheduled absences. One thought was to add a bookmarks widget with a link to the current users' profile. Can I use {currentuser} somehow? If I could take them to specific tabs that would be a bonus. |

Andrew,
In 4.0 you can use the project detail widget, it shows the users and you can navigate to the users profile and allows to switch the tabs manually. I think in 3.0.1you can use the CCM Team Members widget to give users access to the profiles. You can have the About me on private dashboards. I don't think there is some way to compute the URL from the current user in the dashboard, but it is easy enough to reach the own profile in the top right corner using the navigation provided ootb.

Here is the 4.x Project Details (CCM) dashboard.... But, odd, it does not apear to be a standard viewlet, but comes with the project dashboard. I had not realized that.
Thanks Ralph. We've got most of your suggestions in place. You and I both know it's pretty easy to get to the profile pages but when a user doesn't really feel like updating it to begin with and I have to describe a multi-click sequence ("See the little downward facing caret beside the picture near your name? What's a caret? It's a hat, but this one is upside down. No, not that one, the other one.... ")
Andrew, I suppose you are right 8-). I am not sure how to force people to. I have looked into the link to the user profile. The trouble is, it goes by internal ID and not by user ID. e.g. https://clm.example.com:9443/jts/dashboards/24#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfile&itemId=_eO1TMLU8EeGdKP-ob3XZzw which makes it really hard to create a link that would be generally usable.
doh! sorry...,
