Customization of columns in jenkins form for specific JOB - jenkins

Is there any way in Jenkins where I can view customized data for a specific project. Like in the screenshot we can see columns (Salves, Online slaves, offline slaves etc.) Screen shot Example
View> Edit View> Portlets in the right column > Slaves statistics
I want to customize these columns for my project requirements like Build numbers, Revision numbers, svn changes (for every individual revision), the user (who submit this build) and Status. I knew we can see these changes individually from localhost:8080/jenkins/job/Job_name/224/ but I want to see whole information in one single form. I am good in Powershell but Java is not my cup of tea. Please help.

I don't think there is a plugin available to add custom columns, will require creating a custom plugin yourself. A plugin to add some pre-defined extra columns is available https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Extra+Columns+Plugin
Alternatively, we added custom key value pairs in every build using currentBuild.description as shown here to be able to view in a single screen artifact name and environment for each build

Jenkins - Update / Edit the left panel label

I have configured Jenkins in my system and running fine. But I need to configure the jenkins UI.
a) I want to remove the "Jenkins" logo in header and instead of that I need to add "some text title".
b) I want to edit the left panel labels.
Ex. Build history to Workflow history, My View to Workflow View and Build Executor Status to Workflow Executor Status
Do we have any option to edit the html/config file directly or need to install any plugin to edit these labels. Thanks for your valuable time.
You can use the Jenkin's plugin simple theme:
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Simple+Theme+Plugin
You can personalize the CSS, the home page, the favicon. Pretty much everything that you need.
If you just need to do minor changes, you can have a look at https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/tree/master/src/site (site.xml). And the resources folder where the logo is stored.

How to post jenkins job result in jira?

I am running jobs in Jenkins. I want to share the Jenkins job result in Jira. I have tried various plugins but failed to achieve my objective.
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/JIRA+Plugin
If you also want to use this feature, you need to supply a valid user id/password. If you need the comment only to be visible to a certain JIRA group, e.g. Software Development, enter the groupname.
Now you also need to configure jobs. I figured you might not always have write access to the JIRA (say you have a Jenkins build for one of the Apache commons project that you depend on), so that's why this is optional.

JIRA Hide fields in View

I have certain issues that are secure and should not be viewed by all roles. I'm looking for a way to only show the summary on the view screen but no other details unless a certain role views it. Some sort of way to flag an issue on creation to hide certain fields.
There may be other easy ways to do this.but one solution that comes to my mind is use of Behaviours plugin.using this plugin can hide fields if certain user logged into the system.
you can follow steps like this..
1.install Behaviours plugin and create new behaviour then add mappings and go to the fiels and do the relevant configurations...
2.then you can add fields you want to hide and add conditions to them. then there is a option to add certain user roles in the condition configuration page.
3.then click on the hide link on the Field page.
Note-the Behaviours plugin is part of the Script Runner plugin now.you can use either Behaviours plugin s or Script Runner plugin

Restrict a build step for a job name or user

Is there a way to restrict a build step for a user. I have added a build step using the templates plugin, this template is for the deployment.
I do not want any users who has access to create a job or modify a job to be able to use this build step. The new build step that has been added should only be used by the the administrator.
If people can modifying Job configuration, they can get around any limitation you would place.
If your step can be executed post-build, I suggest to take a look at Promoted Builds plugin. The promotions can be configured to be limited to certain users only. But again, if a user has ability to change job configuration, they can overcome that easily.
The only way I can think of, is to have an external script (or preferably a compiled program than cannot be simply "read" with text editor) that is expecting a password that only you now, before executing whatever secret stuff that you want.

Is it possible to show all the submits from a Perforce depot without having to select a job?

We are currently attempting to setup an instance of Jenkins as our build system for our code base. We have multiple jobs setup (all using the same depot) to build different sections of the code.
We would now like to show the submits from all users pertaining to this depot on the main Jenkins screen rather than being able to view the change lists involved with a certain build (e.g. by selecting a certain job and then the link leading to the build information, etc...). I've looked into possible plugins and the closest one I was able to find was the "All Changes Plugin". This is exactly what we would like, but this is only visible when viewing the details of a build (e.g. which CLs were used to create the build), but would it be possible to show this type of information on the main Jenkins page instead?
Thank you in advance for your help.
You could write an extension for the Dashboard View plugin to provide a portlet containing an aggregated list of changes from perforce, though if you aren't experienced with writing plugins then you might be better off using a separate repository browser such as Fisheye or P4Web to display your changes.
