Label

The label is mandatory. It is used to identify and display custom values in rich filter gadgets and time series.

Color

Optionally, you can set a custom color to display the value in some of the rich filter gadgets.

Base value

Select the value on which your custom value is based. Your custom value can be based on:

• Issue count

• Numeric fields

• Time Tracking fields

• Duration - computed values (see Duration (calculated) Custom Values section below)

Value type
^{Displayed in the table listing all the Custom Values}

The value type is automatically computed based on the Base value you have chosen. The value type helps you to easily understand the compatibility with Time Series (see Using Custom Values in Time Series below). 

The possible value types are: 

• Issue Count – for values based on the number of issues

• Numeric – for values based on numeric fields

• Time Tracking – for values based on time tracking fields (i.e., Issue fields: Original Estimate, Time Spent, and Remaining Estimate)

• Duration – for values that compute the duration (see Duration (calculated) Custom Values section below)

Total formula

The total formula is used when displaying totals for the custom values. Possible options are sum, average, minimum, and maximum values.

Decimals
^{Applies only to Numeric base values}

The number of decimals to be displayed when formatting numeric values: Maximum 3, Maximum 2, Maximum 1, None, Exactly 3, Exactly 2, Exactly 1.

Show thousands separator
^{Applies only to Numeric base values}

If this checkbox is checked, the numeric values are displayed using a thousand separator (based on the user's locale).  

Value display
^{Applies only to Time Tracking base values}

This setting allows you to choose how to display time-tracking values. The available options are:

• Jira default - the time tracking values will be displayed using the time format as configured in Jira

• Weeks - the values will be displayed in weeks 

• Days – the values will be displayed in days

• Hours – the values will be displayed in hours

• Minutes – the values will be displayed in minutes

• Seconds – the values will be displayed in seconds

JQL filter

You can optionally use a query to restrict the definition of this custom value to only a subset of issues. The custom value will be empty for the issues that do not satisfy this query.

Edit a Custom Value

Click the edit icon at the right of any custom value.

A dialog appears. Make your changes and click on the Save custom value button.

Note that once a custom value is created, there is one setting that cannot be changed anymore – the Value Type. This means that if you have selected Issue Count as the base value, you cannot change it anymore. If you had selected, for example, a number field as the base value, then the value type would be Numeric. You could then update the Base value and select another number field, but you could nod choose Issue Count anymore (the value type would have to remain Numeric).

This is necessary to ensure the consistency of custom values with time series once used in the Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadgets (see Using Custom Values in Time Series below).

To change the Value Type, you You need to create a new custom value to change the Value Type.

Delete a Custom Value

Click the delete icon at the right of any custom value.

Reorder the Custom Values list

Hover over the vertical “grid” icon of the custom values, then drag and drop up or down to the new position.

This order is applied when displaying the custom values in the settings of the rich filter gadgets and the time series where they can be used.
