Jira Dashboard Gadget - Created vs Resolved

[Fummi Ayorinde]

Hi Team, 

I am finding it hard to understand how the 'Created vs Resolved' Gadget works. Can anyone please advise on where to get a comprehensive article or handbook on how it works.

I selected weekly showing 7 days previously an this is what it returned.

Thank you Payne.

I actually understand how to interpret the graph the issue is with the dates showing on the graph.

I set it to 'weekly' previous days=7 but then I get results showing for two weeks.

Also the graph displays result up on till the end of the week which is not what I set in the filter.

Hmm, I tried what you suggest and see the same ... that is a bit odd. However, if you're interested in only the past 7 days, you'd probably want to use Daily rather than Weekly.

Once you get up to a higher number of days (e.g. 30, 60, 90 [what we use]), Weekly works as expected.

The top half shows the number of issues created (red) and the number resolved (green) for each moment in time. Pretty straightforward.

The bottom half took me a bit to figure out. The count always begins at 0. Each time interval then adds the difference/delta of Created - Resolved.

e.g. Start at 0

Over next time period, 5 created and 6 resolved : 5 - 6 = -1 + 0 (from previous time period) = -1

Over next time period, 5 created and 2 resolved : 3 - 2 = 1 + -1 (from previous time period) = 0

You want to see a line with 0 or downward/negative slope. Upward/positive slope indicates that the number of unresolved issues is increasing.

Hope this helps!
