1. About the Rich Filter Created vs. Resolved Chart gadget
The Rich Filter Created vs. Resolved Chart gadget displays the number of issues created vs. the number of issues resolved over a given period of time. It is similar to Jira’s built-in Created vs. Resolved Chart 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 to display the graph 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 values used by the gadget can be customized (for instance, to show the sum of Story Points instead of the Issue Count);
- an advanced configuration mode allows customizing the start and finish dates, instead of the default Created and Resolved dates;
- the gadget’s title can be customized.
