Currently, the order of display in the Build monitor is alphabetic (or so I believe).
However, it would be immensely beneficial if I can create my own view by re-ordering the build positions and saving it for display in my wall board.
Our current challenge:
The build monitor plugin currently helps me display a very nice wallboard for the teams to monitor the build status. This setup is already done for my teams.
Right now, my teams are working on two branches - one for development and another for release. The teams are now accustomed to knowing right side of the wallboard is for release and left side is for the dev branch.
The teams are simultaneously working on 3 different codebases. So, I need to order 3 bars on the left (dev) and 3 bars on the right (release).
This is where the problem starts - because the team does not control the naming of these branches and there is a central body in our organization that controls these names (for a good reason, of course ). Also, the central body follows a convention of naming the CI jobs as CI-<branchname>-<codebase name>.
When the branch names go different for different code bases, the mental association of left -> dev and right -> release goes awry since the builds start displaying in alphabetical order. If I were able to re-order the builds and save to project it in wall, this would make my team less distracted.
I understand this is much of an organizational issue rather than the tool issue.
I could use this feature as well. Right now I have jobs that revert a clustered system back to the previous state (snapshot) and then another job that is responsible for upgrading the cluster, and then third job to run some end to end test. So it would be very helpful if there was a way to organize the display.
