Dashboard Hub Pro
The use cases on this page provide examples of using JQL Search Extensions with Dashboard Hub, a leading Appfire reporting and dashboard solution.
Dashboard Hub is an all-in-one Jira dashboard app for building reports that keep teams informed. Nearly every gadget can be driven by a JQL query, so any filter, keyword, or function you use from JQL Search Extensions (JSE) works inside a Dashboard Hub gadget with no extra setup. Combining Dashboard Hub with JQL Search Extensions means you can report on relationships, comments, and content that standard Jira can’t surface.
Why use JQL Search Extensions and Dashboard Hub together
Report on more of your data: JSE can retrieve work items by their links, comments, attachments, and hierarchy. Feeding those queries or filters into a gadget lets you chart data that native Jira gadgets simply can’t reach.
One filter, many views: Save an extended search once and reuse it across pie charts, tables, and stats. Every gadget refresh re-runs the full query, so your dashboards stay current on their own.
Clearer picture for the whole team: Turning complex searches into simple visuals gives team leads and stakeholders an at-a-glance view of blockers, progress, and workload without writing a single query themselves.
Faster answers, less effort: Describe what you want to find in plain language with JSE’s AI search, save it as a filter, and drop it into a gadget. There’s no development work and no manual data pulling.
What scenarios benefit from this integration
Our gadgets serve an extensive range of industries and teams. Here are a few examples where our customers are implementing the real-life use cases presented in this section:
Software development: Dashboards can visualize blockers and linked-work item dependencies across Epics, Stories, and Subtasks, keeping engineering, QA, and product teams aligned on what’s holding up delivery.
Agile teams: Scrum Masters and product owners get live charts of sprint readiness and progress across every epic, without rebuilding reports each sprint.
Customer support and success teams: Filters that track who last commented let support leads chart response coverage and spot issues awaiting a reply.
Project and program management: Interconnected workstreams become easy to monitor when linked-work item filters feed a single dashboard, reducing the risk of overlooked dependencies.
Operations and compliance: Filters that search attachment content surface work items tied to specific documents or clauses, giving teams a shared, always-current view for audits and reviews.
