Key mapping concepts

Dataplane Reports	Dashboard Hub Pro	Mapping notes

Dataplane Reports	Dashboard Hub Pro	Mapping notes
Summary (Search)	JQL query	In Dataplane, the Summary displays work items using the Projects / Categories / Boards / Filters tab or the JQL tab. In Jira Custom Charts, select JQL to enter a query directly, or select Filter to use a saved Jira filter.
Time period	JQL date clause	In Dataplane, you select a Time Period from preset ranges (e.g., Last 3 Months) or set explicit Start Date / End Date values. In Jira Custom Charts, add a date clause to your JQL (e.g., `created >= -3m`). Only time periods supported by JQL are possible.
Segment By	Group By	In Dataplane, Segment By breaks down results by one or more Jira fields. In Jira Custom Charts, use Group By (available when you select a grouped, stacked, or multi-chart view type).

Example Dataplane gadget configuration
