Getting time grouped dashboard charts

Question

Looking for a way to draw line charts on the dashboard:

* On the X axis is time.* Based on a system/custom date field. (custom field is important)
* Should be able to group by years, months, weeks, days.

* On the Y axis is the number of work items in each group.

Here is the important part: The X axis should show a real date/time axis. That means, if I have work items from May and July in my result set and the gadget is configured to group them by month, the X axis should also display June as 0. (Of course, the same goes for year, week, and day grouping as well)

Hi @Emre Toptancı _OBSS_ ,

Natively JIRA, unfortunately, doesn't support it. If you are using sprints, you can try out the app I developed - Multi-team Metrics & Retrospective. You can select any period for any metric constructed via JQL:

If you need specifically a line chart - I can implement it in a couple of days for you - let me know.

Best regards,
Alexey

Hi @Emre Toptancı _OBSS_,

Unfortunately, this cannot be done by using Jira's default gadgets. You will need a plugin for this.

If case you want to try a plugin, have a look over our Great Gadgets app. It offers a Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that will allow you to get the chart you want with just a few clicks.

To obtain this chart the gadget should be configured like this:

Also, to group data by years, month, week, etc you must format the date field accordingly on the More Settings tab. In my example I used "MM" format to group data by month.

If you need any help with the configuration of this gadget, feel free to contact support@stonikbyte.com at any time.
