In today’s fast-paced digital world, effective workflow tools are essential, especially for teams using Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence. Switching between tasks, projects, and documentation can quickly lead to a chaotic browser window with endless tabs open.
Managing numerous browser tabs can be challenging, not to mention the strain that having multiple unneeded tabs open can have on your computer's system memory. Tab Helper, BDQ’s new app for Google Chrome, offers a streamlined solution for managing Jira and Confluence tabs, enhancing efficiency and organisation.
Managing multiple tabs is crucial for productivity. Research indicates that switching between numerous open tabs can hinder workflows and lead to “tab fatigue.” Tab Helper addresses these issues, allowing users to minimise time spent searching for tabs and focus on tasks, significantly reducing cognitive load.
One-Click Tab Management: Jump to and/or close multiple tabs within the app, keeping your browser uncluttered.
Streamlined Navigation: Quickly access the tabs you need without getting lost, minimising distractions. With Tab Helper, the standard Jira tab icon is replaced by the icon associated with the task type - epic, task, sub-task, bug, etc.
Resource Optimisation: Close unnecessary tabs to free up system memory, ensuring your computer remains responsive.
Device Compatibility: Designed for Google Chrome, it integrates seamlessly with desktop and laptop devices. You can use the cursor or keyboard shortcuts to open and navigate through the app.
User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive interface makes it easy for users of all experience levels to manage tabs efficiently - the app icon is colour coded depending on the type of tab you're on - blue for Atlassian tabs, red for production tabs and grey for everything else.
Customizable Settings: Protect your production tabs so that you don’t accidentally close them and possibly cause issues for your clients.
