Issue with 2D Gadget display on XAxis and YAxis.

[Velagapudi, Srikanth]

Hello All

I am trying to create a 2D Gadget in a Dashboard where i wanted to display Epic link  in YAxis and Status in XAxis like below

However when i saved i get the below result in which i do not see the Epic Data to the Left.

I tried to find Epic Summary which i couldnt find in the Drop Down as well.

All i want to see is the Epics on the Left side and the associated statuses.

Hi @Velagapudi, Srikanth , thanks for your question.

Please can you validate for the issues returned by your filter query that the Epic Link isn't empty?

I just tested this query in my instance  

"Epic Link" is not EMPTY

And then, for a project where there were some issues with the Epic Link not empty, I created the gadget and it seems to work.

Hi @Valerie Knapp ,thank you for your quick reply.

In the Filter Query Epic Link is empty which i was aware,below is the Filter i have created

Below is the Result with Empty in Epic Link

What i want to see in the Gadget is the Epic name or the Key which i do not find in the Drop Down of the YAxis.

I want to create a Gadget which shows my Epics and the corresponding statuses. There are user story's and Tasks in the Individual epics but i do not want them as i am only Interested at Epic level the statuses

Thanks

Hi @Velagapudi, Srikanth , the Epic Link is the link to the Epic from other issues. In the Epic itself, it appears as the Epic Name, like this -

So, in this example, where I have the gadget displaying the Epic Link by Status, if I click on the number, for example, of 'In Progress', 'Cloud', I will get a report of the issues where they have the Epic Link of Cloud and the status of In Progress, not the list of Epics themselves. 

What is it that you want to achieve? A list of Epics? Please can you clarify?

@Valerie Knapp Thank you for your Quick reply

Below is mine

Hi @Velagapudi, Srikanth , thanks for your reply.

The JQL query you are using for the gadget will not work as you have specified to show only issue type of Epic. If you want to see the issues that have an Epic Link, you need to expand the filter query to include the other issue types / the child issue types of the Epics. The Epic Link in this gadget is being used to group the issue types that are underneath / children of the Epic issues.

Please modify the filter query and try the gadget again.

@Valerie Knapp 

I have tried the way you explained by changing the JQL Query

I still see some under None however when i looked into those it is also getting the Epics and some has the Epic link but still shows under None.

Is there a way we can bring the Epic name into the drop down oprions of YAxis?

[Valerie Knapp]

Hi @Velagapudi, Srikanth , you will either be able to see the Epics with Epic Name or the child issues with Epic Link. The gadget isn't sophisticated enough to say, for example, if Epic Name is populated, show that, as opposed to the Epic Link. 

You could try another gadget, like the Filter results to see everything together.

There is also a report inside of the project settings which might help you called the Single Level Group By Report. It works in a similar way to the gadget in that you choose a filter and then the variable you want to sort by to get something like this -

Otherwise, you can consider an app to extend the funtionality of the dashboard, but this is typically at a cost.

Cheers

@Valerie Knapp Thank you for other Options

To your statement-you will either be able to see the Epics with Epic Name or the child issues with Epic Link.  

I am fine to see only the Epic name but i am not able to see that in the YAxis selection.

Is there a way where i can show you by sharing my screen so that you can understand what i am Saying

Thanks

Hi @Velagapudi, Srikanth , as you said, the Epic Name isn't in the list so it will not be possible to show it in the gadget.
