How to improve performance

Introduction

Less data = faster performance (all aggregation calculations will only take into account loaded tasks only)

Less frequent data refresh = faster performance

Table of contents:

Adjust the displayed data

  • If your box contains a high number of task dependencies, select "collapsed" display mode in the module header (Dependencies/ Display) to improve scroll smoothness and UI responsiveness" (Gantt and Board modules)

  • If your box spans a long period of time, use filtering, such as date filtering, to improve the performance

  • Use filters to limit the active data visible on the screen

  • Work on fewer fields visible at the same time - the more data fields (such as columns on Gantt) you show while using BigPicture Plugin, the more time it takes for the browser to calculate and render it

  • Limit the maximum number of Jira issues loaded
    App Configuration > Advanced > Technical info tab

Archive, close, or remove the old boxes

  • When a box is closed or archived, the data isn’t being refreshed

  • Alternatively, remove the boxes you don’t need

Simplify the app and box setup

Data synchronization

  • Increase the Synchronization time interval
    App Configuration > Advanced > Technical info tab

  • live synchronization - adjust the live sync settings (decrease the live sync interval or turn off)
    App Configuration > General > Live sync tab
