The Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadget displays time series as line charts. The gadget is based on a rich filter and works as follows: 

  • the collection of issues used for the charts can be furthered further filtered using Rich Filter Controller gadgets;

  • the gadget itself can further refine the results by applying a gadget-specific JQL that we call a working query;

  • the gadget can display together several multiple time series as line charts in order to point out trends and hint at correlations between these;

  • the gadget can display results based on different values value types, like the number of issues (Issue Count) or the sum of the number of fields (such as Story Points);

  • the gadget’s title can be customized.

Tip

Rich Filter Extensions

Rich filter extensions are separate Jira apps that can be installed on top of the Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards app to extend the rich filters and rich filter gadgets with new specific functionality.

Setting

Description

Title

Optionally, you can customize the title of the gadget. If left blank, the default title will be Rich Filter Time Series Chart.

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.

Info

The gadgets’ configuration forms only show the rich filters you are allowed to view. See the section on permissions for details.

Tip

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.

Aggregation periods

The length of the periods to be represented on the chart. It can be: Days, Weeks, Months, Quarters, or Years.

Time range





Together with its subsettings, this specifies the total time span for which the results will be computed. 

The time range subsettings depend on the option selected in the Time range drop-down as described below.

Time range

Time range subsetting

Description

Number of periods

Number of periods

Enter a number of periods. The time range corresponds to the specified number of consecutive aggregation periods.

Direction

Select how the periods are positioned relative to the current period. The possible options are:

  • Past – the time range includes past periods and the current period

  • Future – the time range includes the current period and future periods

  • Past & Future – the time range includes past periods, the current period, and future periods, with the current period in the middle of the range

Tip

Fields like Created or Resolved always contain values that are in the past. Therefore you should always select Past for time series based on these fields as you will never find any 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 time series based on this field it is more useful to select Future in order to see statistics for the issues that are due soon, or Past & Future to also see the statistics for overdue issues.


Between dates

Start date

End date

Enter the two dates that define the limits of the time range (both specified dates are inclusive).

The inputs can be selected from a date picker or entered manually as a calendar date ("yyyy/MM/dd" or "yyyy-MM-dd") or as a time relative to the present (e.g. "-5d", "4w 2d").

Contextual options


These are predefined Time range options which depend on the selected Aggregation period. 

Possible options are: This year, Last year, This quarter, Last quarter, This month, Last month. 

Display Type

It can be:

  • Period value – shows the values of each individual period.

  • Cumulative trend – progressively adds the values from the previous periods. It includes only the issues starting with the first period of the graph.

  • Cumulative total – progressively adds the values from the previous periods. It also includes the issues before the first period.

Value Type

  • Issue Count: for values based on issue counts

  • Duration: for duration values (see Configuring Custom Values)

  • Time Tracking: for values based on time tracking fields
