Embedded views: The future of work tracking in GitLab

GitLab's embedded views, powered by the GitLab Query Language (GLQL), offer a streamlined way for teams to access real-time, relevant information within their workflow, eliminating the need for constant context switching and outdated reports. Released in version 18.3, these views enable users to insert live GLQL queries in Markdown code blocks across various parts of GitLab, such as wiki pages, epics, issues, and merge requests. The dynamic nature of these queries ensures that data is always up-to-date, with functions like currentUser() and today() providing context-specific information. Users can filter data by numerous fields and customize the display in formats like tables or lists. Embedded views are available across all GitLab tiers, although certain advanced functionalities are reserved for Premium and Ultimate users. This feature is already integral to GitLab's internal processes, aiding in tasks such as tracking merge requests and managing team onboarding, and it promises to enhance work tracking and collaboration for other teams as well.
