I need to create a counter in my confluence page chart for days an entry is on report

[Robert Kincaid]

I need to create a counter in my confluence page chart for days which should increment on daily basis, is there a way to create it something like this ?   I use my confluence page to keep up with Jira ticket statuses and want to have a counter for how many days the entry has been on the confluence page.  Any idea how to do this?  I am trying to prevent having to do this manually each day which would be a pain.  It simply needs to identify how many days the entry has been on the report and count forward.

Hi @Robert Kincaid,

You best option here would be the WIP Aging Chart macro, offered by our Great Gadgets app for Confluence Cloud. 

By using this macro, you can display the Jira issues from a filter or JQL, by their age: time since creation, or time since its entrance in a specific status. 

In this example, you can see the issues (dots) grouped by their current status (horizontal axis) and by their age (vertical axis) - number of days since issue creation. 

 

The red line is an optional threshold that you can set manually, to easily identify the issues that are too old already - the ones in red-color.

By hovering an issue in the chart you will get details about that issue:

Optionally, the macro can display a Data tab with all the issues and their age.

The advantage of this macro is that everything will happen in real time without any manual work or additional settings!

ty!!! I am not wishing to measure the age of the Jira.  I am only wanting to have a counter to measure how long the entry that was added for the Confluence entry. 

I might add an entry on the confluence page for a jira that was 6 months old.  I only want to measure the entry I added on the confluence page not measure the Jira timeframe.

Hi @Robert Kincaid,

Oh, by reading "to keep up with Jira ticket statuses" I thought you wanted to see the age of the corresponding Jira tickets... I'm sorry for misunderstanding the request.

When you say "entry in the confluence page for a jira", what it that more exactly? Could you please provide a screenshot?

Some of the Jira macros include time in status, that might work for you. Otherwise, look in the Marketplace.  There are a few add-ons that include date and timers you could try.
