Dynamic Filter Limitation

The dynamic filter in Dashboard Hub is optimized to handle gadgets with up to 2,500 issues, ensuring optimal performance and smooth functionality of the dashboard features. Gadgets displaying information that requires more than 2,500 won’t be affected by the dynamic filter bar.

Users can overcome this by refining JQL statements in gadgets to precisely filter issues based on criteria like type, status, assignee, and labels. This optimization helps manage performance and ensures responsive, customizable dashboards within Dashboard Hub.

Number of Issues Processed

The system is optimized to process up to 2,500 issues per gadget for optimal performance. While it is possible to set a higher maximum issue limit (as indicated above), the effective processing capacity may not exceed this number due to several factors (see table above):

• The gadget is designed to support up to a specific number of results.

• The data is displayed in a table rather than a chart (charts allow more issues).

• Certain data, such as custom fields from other applications, may not be supported in large volumes.

• Queries have fields that are not currently supported.
