Dashboard settings for better view of task
I wanted to know of how do you configure your dashboard just like the two pictures I have here and I'm not sure if those charts and graphs are from the Jira itself and I wanted to know which addons I should use to make a clear dashboard just like from the pictures or closest to it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions and recommendations

Hey @Hansel Faren ,
Is this AI-generated? I'm asking because there's a mix of UI buttons and options when it comes to Jira nav itself (at least in those images). 👀
Now, Jira dashboards are fairly limited, and you probably won't be able to get this exact look. Some gadgets are not available if you use native features.
What I would recommend exploring are Home dashboards > see:
These are (and will be) more flexible and have a more modern look. Meaning, they are much closer to what you're looking for.
Apart from that, you can use Jira space summary view, but this view is not configurable (at least not yet). Support docs about it can be found here. 📚

Hope this helps.

Hi @Hansel Faren!
Those two look like design mockups rather than real Jira, probably AI-generated. A couple of giveaways: the assignee names go straight down the alphabet (Andi, Budi, Citra, Dewi…), and things like "Productivity Ratio" and "On-time Completion" use made-up formulas with their own rating scales that Jira doesn't have. So I wouldn't count on recreating them exactly, but you can get pretty close.
If you're in Jira, just open the Reports tab inside your space, there's a dashboard built in already.
You get the summary cards across the top (completed / updated / created / due in the last 7 days) and donut charts for work items by status, type and assignee. It's live now, nothing to switch on. That's the closest native thing to the cards-and-donuts style in your screenshots.
Beyond that, a lot of the individual charts already exist in Jira anyway. Burndown, velocity, cumulative flow and the cycle-time control chart are all standard board reports — they just sit under your board's Reports section instead of on a dashboard. And the classic dashboard gadgets (pie chart, two-dimensional filter stats, created vs resolved, filter results) cover most of the rest. All of it runs off saved JQL filters, so it's worth building those first.
Where Jira runs out is pulling everything into one polished, fully custom view like your mockups and for that you'd need a Marketplace app. Full disclosure, I work on Report Builder at Actonic, but it does exactly this: number cards, pivot tables, pie/donut/bar charts, and you can drop several reports onto a single dashboard. If you want to match a specific layout down to the pixel, you can build reports in plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript. There's a free sandbox if you want to poke around before installing anything.
If you tell us which metrics you actually care about, happy to point you at where to start.
Hi @Hansel Faren,
An addon that provide such gadgets is our Great Gadgets app.
Practically, it covers all the metrics you listed there.
Hope this helps. If you miss something or have questions, feel free to contact support@stonikbyte.com.

Hi @Hansel Faren,
Welcome to the Community!
The examples you shared look more like a custom dashboard/mockup than a standard Jira dashboard, so it may be difficult to recreate the exact same view with native Jira gadgets only.
If your goal is to get a clearer dashboard for workflow performance, bottlenecks, and task progress, you may want to check Time Metrics Tracker by SaaSJet.
We recently added Flow Insights to the app. It helps teams review workflow health in one connected view, based on the selected metric, project, filters, and period.
It includes:
-
KPI cards for Trend, Work items, Median, P85, and Total tracked time
-
Trend chart to see whether the selected metric is improving or getting worse over time
-
Status contribution chart to understand which workflow stages consume the most time
-
Work in Progress chart to monitor active work and aging items
-
Scatter plot to spot outliers and delivery risks
This can be useful if you want to understand not only how many tasks are completed, but also where work slows down, where bottlenecks appear, and which issues need attention.
Also, if you prefer to build a Jira dashboard with separate widgets, several of these charts are available as individual dashboard gadgets too, such as Trend, Status Contribution, WIP Run Chart, and Scatter Plot.
I’m attaching a screenshot for better understanding.
Hope this helps! If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to help.
