This page relates to an older version 1.8 of Rich Filters for JIRA Dashboards for Server & Data Center. See the documentation index for other versions, or for the Cloud version of Rich Filters.
The Rich Filter Statistics Gadget
The Rich Filter Statistics Gadget displays the collection of issues grouped by a specific field/criteria. It is similar to JIRA’s built-in Issue Statistics Gadget, but it is based on a rich filter instead of a JIRA saved search and thus adds several new features:
- the collection of issues used for the statistics can be furthered filtered using Rich Filter Controller gadgets;
- the gadget itself can further refine the results by applying a gadget-specific JQL that we call “working query”;
- the gadget can break down the results by an issue field or by a smart filter;
- the gadget can also use a date field in order to break down the results by Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter or Year;
- the gadget can display multiple outputs at the same time (such as Issue Count and Story Points);
- the gadget’s title can be customized.
Configuring the Rich Filter Statistics Gadget
Add a new or edit an existing Rich Filter Statistics Gadget in your JIRA dashboard. The configuration form of the gadget will be displayed:
Statistics on date fields
The gadget can also display statistics based on date fields. Some settings are relevant and will be displayed only if the Statistic Type is a date or date/time field (i.e. Time Intervals, Number of Intervals, Display Period). At the same time, the Sort By and Sort Direction are relevant and will be displayed only for fields which are not date or date/time.
Edit the gadget configuration as described in the following table:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Title | Optionally, you can customize the title of the gadget. If left blank, the default title will be Rich Filter Statistics. |
Rich Filter | Select the rich filter the gadget will use. Click on the Rich Filter button to display the list of rich filters; you can either scroll through or use the search box to find the filter you need. The gadgets’ configuration forms only show the rich filters you are allowed to view. See the section on permissions for details. The link in the description line below the Rich Filter button opens a new page with the configuration of the selected rich filter. Also, when the gadget is in display mode, you can navigate directly to the rich filter of the gadget using the Rich Filter option in the menu at the top right of the gadget. |
Working Query | The working query is a JQL query that is combined with the base filter of the rich filter before searching for issues. The working query is optional: if left empty, only the base JIRA filter and the quick filters affect the issues displayed. |
Statistic Type | Select the issue field or the smart filter on which the issues will be grouped. This setting is mandatory. |
Sort By Does not apply to date and date/time fields | Select how to sort the values of your Statistic Type:
|
Sort Direction Does not apply to date and date/time fields | Select whether the field values should be sorted in Ascending or Descending order. |
Time Intervals Applies only to date and date/time fields | The length of the time intervals to be used for statistics. It can be: Hourly (only for date/time fields), Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly. |
Number of Intervals Applies only to date and date/time fields | The number of time intervals to be displayed in the statistics gadget. |
Display Period Applies only to date and date/time fields | Depending on the date field you use, you can select the period you wish to represent in the statistics gadget:
Fields like Created or Resolved always contain values that are in the past. Therefore you should always select Past for these fields as you will never find an issue created or resolved in the future. Fields like Due Date contain values that can be both in the past and in the future. For this field it is more useful to select Future in order to easily see all the issues that are due soon or Past & Future to also see if there are overdue issues. |
Show Percentages | Select whether or not the gadget should display the proportion represented by each statistic value relative to the total. It takes one of two values: Yes/No. |
Show Totals | Select whether or not the gadget should display the total value/s. It takes one of two values: Yes/No. |
Values | Select the outputs to be computed for each Statistic Type group. You can select up to 5 outputs at a time. There are five kinds of possible values:
In JIRA, numeric fields can also store negative values. The Rich Filter Statistics Gadget treats the negative values as zero. |
