A filter to group statuses for a Jira Dashboard

Jessica.Eveland November 13, 2024

I'm looking to group together statuses to simplify our Jira Dashboard.  The QA team has a lot of statuses in their workflow and I just want the dashboard to reflect if an issue is in QA. Is there a filter I can create to group/join all those statuses together?

Hi @Jessica.Eveland 

If you want to group status to only see "In QA" instead of all the associated status, you could have a look to Rich Filter App.

 

I'm using this app on DC for that purpose but not sure if it has the same feature on Cloud. Could be worth checking.

Hi @Jessica.Eveland,

This is not possible with the Jira's default gadgets or JQL.

But if you consider the idea of using an app, our Great Gadgets app has a Team Wallboard gadget that can display the contents of an agile board.

As you mentioned, in the project board your already have these statuses mapped on the "In QA" column; by using this gadget you can make the board visible on dashboard, thus having all the QA tasks listed under "In QA" column.

Hi @Jessica.Eveland ! Hopefully I am understanding your question well. You totally could create a filter with JQL to only show you issues from a certain project under certain statuses. Then you can use a dashboard gadget with that filter to show you a count or list of those issues.

Here's a sample JQL:

project = BETA1 AND status in ("under review", "QA assigned", "needs review")

Would something like that work?

Hello @Harrison Ponce - thank you for the quick response

What I would like is all those individual QA statuses:

  • GL Testing
  • Test Blockers
  • Submitted to UAT
  • Active QA
  • Support Approval

to display as In QA on by dashboard - similar to how you can map statuses to columns in a project.

For additional context I am creating a workload gadget using Two Dimensional Filter Statistics with Assigned Developer and Status for my x/y axis. (also open to if there is a better way to do it!)

Thank you for the additional info! I would probably recommend a different route.

If you're just looking for counts by assignee, but don't really care to break it out by individual status (just grouping them together), I would let the filter do the grouping for you and then use the Issue Statistics gadget (basically a one-dimensional filter statistics). It would look something like the following:

You could also accomplish this same thing using the Pie Chart if you'd like a different visual style. Also, a tip I love is that you can edit the gadget title in edit mode. That'll help make it much more useful than the generic title!

Does this get closer to something that you're looking for?

Hi @Jessica.Eveland,

I am Marlene, product manager of Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards.

It is possible to create analytics using custom JQL.

For example you could work with the "Quick Pie Chart" gadget and display on one slice all QA statuses grouped together with the "Custom JQL values".  

This is how the configuration could look like.

Another option would be to filter for the QA statuses using the Quick Controller gadget.

You can check out Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards without installation on our demo dashboards.
