Ability to define the order of self service actions

Maria Lepp

My company utilizes Port's self-service actions hub for our complete deployment process. We would like the ability to organize the tiles in a logical SDLC order.

Organization for SSAs

Alon Moscovitz

Ability to organize SSAs in the Self-Service Hub. Can be in folders/tags or alternatively that SSA will be treated as a blueprint and we could add our own custom properties to them and them use the same organization mechanisms used in Pages (sort, filter, group etc.) on SSAs as well

Sharing an example of how this can be achieved in a dedicated Dashboard page (instead of going to the self-service tab, create a dedicated and customized page for your engineers)

Matan Grady loking at the screen, this looks good!! Will this feature be manageable using the Terraform provider, too?

Matan Grady

Stefano Romanò: Yes and this is already available via our page resource in our terraform provider

Stefano Romanò

If the addition of categories is multilevel, it would work like a charm!

Matan Grady

Stefano Romanò great feedback, we are currently exploring a more dynamic approach for personal pages - https://roadmap.getport.io/ideas/p/private-personal-dashboards

It's not directly related, but could help users/teams to put the actions they need in advance.

Stefano Romanò

hi Matan  Grady thanks for your reply!
Reading the proposal specs, it is more related to the Dashboard section, rather than the self-service section.
Splitting the dashboad into multiple private instances may show only the actions that are more suitable for a team, but does not provide grouping for the global actions (e.g. provisioning of a new cloud resource, in case of an action card for each type of resource you can create).
Of course, the suggestion can work great with the project catalog visibility!

Alon Moscovitz 👋🏼 While we don't support this as part of the self-service hub, you can utilize the Action Card widget to create a custom dashboard designed to fit this purpose.

For example, create an "Actions" folder with pages like a "Deployment Hub" dashboard with the relevant actions as "Action Cards" next to a markdown explanation of the process and live tables of related entities.

Hi! While we don't currently have the ability to modify the self-service hub view, you can utilize the Action Card widget to create a custom dashboard designed to fit this purpose.

For example, create a "Deployment Hub" dashboard with the relevant actions as "Action Cards" next to a markdown explanation of the process and live tables of related entities.

Would be nice to allow user to re-arrange/re-order the actions would be really helpful.

Going one step further, would be great to either have different page templates for self-service action page, or, allow user to use custom css. That would give user much better control on how the page looks like.

jerry jiang I suggest upvoting this FR - https://roadmap.getport.io/ideas/p/private-personal-dashboards

While not directly related, building private dashboards can allow each user to build her own dashboard with the actions she wants.
