I can't find documentation about the issue activities as they pertain to reporting gadgets.

Question

I'm trying to set up an Activity Stream gadget for a dashboard. I've chosen just Jira, Activity is Issue Progress has stopped. See the picture. I don't understand how it determines what issues meet that criteria. I've not been able to find the documentation for how the gadget works. Can anyone point me to where it is?

@Trudy P ClaspillI suppose the gadget could be different for Standard. I am using Premium so we'll have to wait and see if someone else chimes in.

If you click on the "Add a filter" link does it give you more options?

Hello @Danno ,

I was referring to the data presented in the gadgets list on the right, where you select the gadgets you want to add to the dashboard.

The "Available Streams" I was referring to was the one in your screen image that shows the configuration option for the gadget after you add it to your dashboard. I don't have that when I add the gadget to my dashboard.

I have only a Standard subscription for Jira Cloud. What type of subscription do you have? That might account for differences between what we each see. Those differences made me wonder if your Activity Stream gadget might have been from a third party app.

I also so far have not been able to find any more detailed documentation about the gadget configuration options. I'm sorry I haven't been able to provide more help.

Hello @Trudy P Claspill

Yes, this is an Atlassian-provided gadget for Dashboards. You're looking at how it's provided in my screenshot above. The gadget is Activity Streams, not Available Streams.

What I am asking for is the location of the documentation for this gadget so that I can understand how the activity called "Issue progress stopped" (as well as the rest of the contained activities in this filter) works and what information it will provide.

I have searched the community forum as well as the Atlassian documentation to no avail.
