The Rich Filter Simple Gauge Gadget
The Rich Filter Simple Gauge Gadget displays issue count and field sum gauges. The gadget is based on a rich filter and works as follows:
- the gadget builds a collection of issues based on the rich filter's base query and on the active quick filters (which means the results can be refined using Rich Filter Controller gadgets);
- the gadget itself can further refine the issue collection by applying a gadget-specific JQL that we call “working query”;
- it computes a gauge level based on predefined criteria or on any static filter defined in the rich filter;
- for the same collection of issues, the gadget can display multiple gauges at the same time – based on different values, like the number of issues (Issue Count) or the sum of number and time tracking fields (such as Story Points or Original Estimate);
- the gadget supports multiple display layouts;
- the gadget’s title can be customized.
Configuring the Rich Filter Simple Gauge Gadget
Add a new or edit an existing Rich Filter Simple Gauge Gadget in your Jira dashboard. The configuration form of the gadget will be displayed:
Edit the gadget configuration as described in the following table:
| Setting | Description |

| 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.
