Praveena Veeranki requested to merge chore/validation-and-config-refactor into viswam/website

Perfect Praveena 👌 I’ll modify this into a clean, professional, production-level MR description suitable for your GitLab Compliance Checker project.

Here’s the improved version 👇

✅ Merge Request Title

Add Assigned Open Issues Count to User Dashboard

🚀 What does this MR do?

This merge request introduces an Assigned Open Issues Count feature in the User Profile Dashboard of the GitLab Compliance Checker.

Previously, the dashboard displayed only issues authored by the user. With this enhancement, the system now also tracks and displays:

  • ✅ Total Open Issues Assigned to the User
  • ✅ Real-time count using GitLab Issues API
  • ✅ Accurate workload visibility per user

This provides a more comprehensive view of user responsibilities across GitLab projects.

🎯 Why is this change needed?

In GitLab workflows, users may:

  • Author issues
  • Be assigned to issues
  • Review merge requests
  • Collaborate across multiple projects

Tracking only authored issues does not accurately reflect actual task ownership.

By integrating assigned issue tracking, this update:

  • Improves workload transparency
  • Enhances compliance tracking accuracy
  • Supports better performance monitoring
  • Aligns dashboard metrics with GitLab’s UI

🔧 Technical Implementation

  • Used GitLab Issues API
  • Applied assignee_username filter
  • Filtered issues by state=opened
  • Added backend logic in user profile module
  • Updated Streamlit UI to display assigned issue count
  • Implemented error handling for API failures
  • Ensured no performance impact on existing metrics
