Using the Classic Card View Gadget

You can use the GreenHopper Classic Card View gadget to display a JIRA issue on your dashboard or on a Confluence page, in the format of a GreenHopper card. The gadget displays a single card at a time. You can configure the gadget to offer only one issue or to offer a series of issues from a given project. If you choose to offer a series of issues, the gadget will display 'next' and 'previous' arrows that people can click to move from one issue to the next.
