Configure time series
Time series are collections of data points based on your issues’ date fields. For instance, they show the number of created issues on days 1, 2, 3, and so on for the past month. The values for the data points may be issue counts or values computed from issue fields.
The time series can be displayed as line charts with the Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadget or as tables with the Rich Filter Statistics gadget. While series on their own can point out trends, they are more powerful when plotted together. Comparing series can hint at correlations between events affecting your activity.
You can add new and see existing time series and their configuration in the Time series section of your rich filter.
The Time Series section of your rich filter lets you add new time series and view their key attributes.
The key attributes of a time series are:
Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Series | Each time series is based on a date field, which is used to find the issues contributing to each data point. |
Name | Each time series has a name that must be unique among the time series within the rich filter. |
Color | The color is used to display the time series in rich filter gadgets. |
Base value | Each time series has a value, which is used to compute the values of the data points. You can select issue count, any number field, or custom values as a value. SLA Time SeriesIf the series are based on SLA fields, then the following SLA values become available:
In all the cases, only the issues with the SLA completed are considered, and only the last cycle is included in any computation. |
Value type | The value type is automatically computed based on the value settings. The possible value types are:
|
JQL Filter | An optional JQL filter can apply additional filtering when computing a data point. Only the issues that satisfy the additional JQL filter contribute to the results. |
Rich Filter Extensions
Rich filter extensions are separate Jira apps installed on top of the Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards app to extend the rich filters and rich filter gadgets with new specific functionality.
New time series options are available if you add any of these extensions:
Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards allows you to define time series based on work log attributes – Worklog Date and Worklog Time Spent to see historical trends in the time tracking data
Rich Filters::Service Desk Dashboards allows you to define time series based on SLA fields and values – SLA Completed, Met, Breached, %Met, %Breached, or Average
The Time Series section of your rich filter also lets you do the following operations:
To do the following: | Do this: |

Create time series |
You can add up to 80 time series in each rich filter. |
Edit a time series | Click the Edit ( In the following pop-up, make your changes and click the Save button. Note that once the time series is created, two settings cannot be changed anymore:
This is necessary to ensure the consistency of the time series once it is used in the Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadgets. In a Time Series Chart gadget, we can display together only series having compatible value types (i.e., we can display together either series based on multiple Issue Counts or on Numeric Sum values but not combinations of these). You need to create a new time series to change these two settings. |
Delete a time series | Click the Delete ( |
Reorder the time series list | Hold the pointer over the queue's Grid ( This order displays the time series in the settings of Rich Filter Time Series Chart and Rich Filter Statistics gadgets. |
