I wanted to get a view of Epic progress similar to what is available under summary tab -> Epic progress.

Right now it shows data for all Epics in the project, How can I either -

1. have similar Epic Progress view for selected Epics ? or

2. How can I add a filter to have a similar summary/epic progress view for selected Epics ?

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-is-the-summary-view/

Please note I am looking for a solution to avoid using Filter option in Summary tab and every time adding Epics to filter the data just for a moment and avoid to do this each time when browser is opened/closed

Thanks

Hi @Rishi,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Filtering epics in Summary page of the project is not possible.

An alternative would be to create a Jira dashboard with gadgets that are capable to display epic progress. Unfortunately the gadgets offer by Jira are pretty limited and do not provide a view similar to the one from Summary page, but you could search for an app (plugin) on Atlassian Marketplace that provides such gadget. 

In case you want to try a plugin, our Great Gadgets app offers a Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that can easily calculate the progress of epics (by percentage of tasks completion, by sum of story points, etc) and display the result in form of table, heatmap table, or charts of various types.

The gadget supports filtering by saved filter or JQL, so you can include only the epics you want.

To get a view like this, the gadget should be configured like this:

If you want to display the progress by issue count instead of story points, just change "Sum as Fraction of Rows" into "Count as Fraction of Rows".

Welcome @Rishi 

Before the part of filter is not an option, filtering would work. Since that is not the solution you are looking for is to create an epic focused dashboard that would have different filters.

The gadgets you would use would be:

  • Pie chart - which outlines the epics only
  • In progress gadget
  • Workload chart - you can apply the filter which contains the epics only for your project
  • Filter results - this will be applied for updates in last 7 days,created in the last 7 days 

All of these filters that you would create separately you can create using the basic feature of work item search feature.

@Rishi 

Is this the main part that you want to use on the reports?
