Question about a gadget provided by Atlassian

[PASSOT Benoît]

Hello,
The gadget is "Average Number of Times in Status".
I noticed that hovering the plot, it provides a time. Thus I wonder what this gadget really provides. 
Can you provide the code behind? Or explain it more in details.
Thanks

Hey @PASSOT Benoît ,

Official docs about pre-defined gadgets, including "Average Number of Times in Status" can be found here: Dashboard gadgets (it's not really comprehensive 👀)

Generally, this gadget is designed to help you identify "looping" behavior in your workflow by showing how often work items return to a specific status.

The gadget's primary metric is a count (number of times), not a duration. So, it indicates the average count of entries into that status across the work items in your selected space or filter 📊

Logic is the following:

• Entry Count: Every time an issue transitions into a status, the counter for that status increments by one.

• Averaging: The gadget sums the total number of entries for a status across all issues in the filter and divides it by the total number of issues.

• Scope: It typically analyzes the history of the issues to count every transition event, including those where an issue moved back and forth between statuses.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tobi
