This blog will go over how to use Pull Requests page in Haystack.
Haystack combines all commits, comments, approvals as a activity bubble in the progress bar. The more activities there are, the bigger the bubble is.
You can hover each bubble to see the corresponding activity.
The blue line starts from first activity "opened pr" all the way to PR getting merged or closed.
Time in status shows how long it has been in that state. There are 3 states a Pull Request can be in
Draft: PR is in draft state
Review required: PR is open & not approved
Approved: PR has at least one approval
Member filter allows you to see all the issues in that cycle.
You can see the active risk on the right side panel.
Clicking on it will filter the PRs with that specific risk.
You can configure risks by visiting PR Risks Settings page.
There are 6 risks that can be configured. Each configuration can mark a PR if it fits it's conditions.
High Review Time: Marked when time since PR opened above given threshold. Time in Draft state does not count for Review Time.
No Activity: Marked when PR hasn't had any activity above given threshold. An activity is anything from commit, comments, approvals, description changes, requesting review and so on.
No Reviewer: Mark when PR has 0 reviewers requested.
Large Pull Request: Marked when PR Line Changes is above given threshold. Line change count is the sum of additions & removals of lines..
Stuck in Discussion: Marked when PR has comments above given threshold.
Not Linked to Jira Issue: Marked when PR is not linked to a Jira issue. Haystack uses JIRA's referrence issue document to mark if a PR is linked or not.
You can set slack alerts Not Linked to Jira Issue via Team Alerts Settings page

You can hide any pr that you don't want to see in this page.
You can see hidden PRs by toggling the Show hidden PRs button.
Note: Showing & hiding works individually for each team. If you hide a PR from one team, it will still continue to show in another team unless it's marked hidden from their as well.
No, only open Pull Requests are shown in this page. Once a Pull Request is merged or closed, they will disappear.
The following settings have effect on what is being shown in Pull Request page.
Team Member Settings: All PRs that were made by your members will be shown.
"Include non-team members work" Setting: All PRs that have corresponding issue in that board will be shown regardless if the member is tagged as part of your team or not.
You can configure this Team Member Settings page.
