Reporting with a Custom Chart on Dashboards

[Tim Lucas]

Hello,

Our team is working on ways to build some custom charts on our JIRA dashboards and we aren't having any luck with any of the stock JIRA charts. They don't appear to be flexible enough to let us define the fields we need.

Two examples we are trying to created.

1. We'd like to add a bar chart that shows the number of tickets in a "closed" status for the last 30 days by assignee. We have a saved filter we can use for the data. We need a chart that has the assignee on the x axis and the number of tickets in the y axis.

2. We'd like to add another bar chart that shows the sum of a field (in our case it's a number associated with the level of effort of the ticket) over the last 30 days by assignee. We also have a saved filter for this and would need the assignee on the x axis and the sum of the field on the y axis.

These seem like extremely simple charts but we cannot find a way to add them to our dashboard. The chart option appear to be pre-defined.

Thanks!

Welcome to the community, @Tim Lucas.

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

Both is possible with our app, by working with the Bar Chart gadget. The screenshot shows "Issue Count" per component, but you can also choose the assignee field as x-achsis.

It is also possible to define a custom JQL as described by you for the issues displayed in the gadget.

Instead of showing statistics for "Issue Count" you can also configure the gadget in a way that it shows statistics for any Jira number field, including custom fields. 

On top of that our app provides you with a "Quick Controller" gadget that enables you to filter all gadgets on the dashboard dynamically. So you would be able to filter the Bar Chart gadget e.g. per project, assignee or any other Jira field.

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

Hi @Tim Lucas,

Indeed, this is not possible with the Jira's default gadgets.

But, you can easily have both charts displayed by using the Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app.  This gadget lets you display multi-dimensional stats with count, sum or percentages.

Both charts that you need can be displayed with a few clicks. Here is how:

#1 Bar chart that shows the number of tickets in a "closed" status for the last 30 days by assignee

To display this chart, the gadget should be configured like this:

#2 Bar chart that shows the sum of a field over the last 30 days by assignee

In this example I used Story Points field, but you can use any numerical custom field.

To display this chart, the gadget should be configured like this:

Our app requires a payed subscription, but you can start with 1-month free trial. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at support@stonikbyte.com.
