Interactive Jira Dashboard in Confluence

Question

I have a smartlink to our Jira reporting dashboard in Confluence and have been told you should be able to drill into the results on the table but you have to 'open in Jira' before you can do this. Has anyone heard of being able to interact with charts on a dashboard this way (in Confluence) without having to first open in Jira? I just assumed it is because it is essentially a view in Confluence, unless you open up the dashboard in Jira.

I can interact with issues in a Jira filter that I have embedded in Confluence, but not issues in says a two dimensional chart.

Hi @Gaynor Morris

I'm Goyo and I'm part of Dashboard Hub team in Appfire.

Our team has designed Dashboard Hub to integrate into Confluence pages in an easy and intuitive way.

Our app allows not only the embedding of full dashboards but also individual gadgets, which can make visual information even more meaningful within a more specific context. Moreover, our integrations go beyond Jira — they also include Bitbucket, Confluence itself, and even products from other ecosystems.

You can take a look at our documentation here Getting Started With Dashboard Hub

If you're interested, you can try it out here:

Let me know if you have any questions—happy to help!

Best,

Goyo.

Hi @Gaynor Morris - The Stiltsoft recommendation is a great one.  I have used this approach extensively to accomplish exactly what you mention.

I would give it a try!

Hi @Gaynor Morris ,

We can suggest trying the app that we develop - Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence.

We support the Jira Issues macro, so you'll be able to create, for example, a sequence Jira Issues table <- Table Filter (filtered table) <- Pivot Table (aggregated table) <- Chart from Table (visualized pivot using a bar chart).

Such chart will be live (if the list of issues coming from Jira is updated, then all the steps are updated too) and interactive (you click on the required bar of your chart and see only the correspondent part of your pivot table and correspondent list of Jira issues (not the whole Jira table)).

If I'm talking about smth close to your use case, please book a call with the team - we'll be able to show everything live and discuss more details.
