Rich Filters Add-on 1.5 for JIRA adds dashboard state permalinks, Σ statistic values, and compatibility with JIRA 7.3.

Rich Filters Add-on on the Atlassian Marketplace

Version Highlights

  • Dashboard state permalinks

  • Σ statistic values

  • Compatibility with JIRA 7.3

Dashboard state permalinks

You can now save the state of the rich filter gadgets on your dashboard in a URL. You can bookmark this URL or send it to someone else. The generated URL will open the dashboard and restore the rich filter gadgets to the same state (the same quick filters selected, the same selected views, and the same sorting criteria in the Rich Filter Results gadgets).

Documentation: Dashboard State Permalinks

Σ statistic values

All rich filter statistic gadgets (1D Statistics, 2D Statistics, and Pie Chart) can now output as values Σ Time Tracking fields and Σ Numeric fields.

The 'Time Tracking' and 'Numeric Fields' options only include the value stored in the issue. The 'Σ Time Tracking' and 'Σ Numeric Fields' options also include the values of its sub-tasks for each issue.

This allows you to support some interesting use cases. For instance, you could have a statistic on Epic Link, and this way you would be able to compare, for each Epic, the Original Estimate and Time Estimate of all the stories in the Epic and their sub-tasks.

A statistic based only on the Original Estimate and Time Spent would not count the time tracking on sub-tasks because the sub-tasks don't have any Epic Link (only their parents do).

The same can be applied to Story Points (or any other numeric field) and can be used for statistics on any other field on the parent issues that is not propagated to sub-tasks.

Supported JIRA Versions

Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards version 1.5 is supported on Jira versions 7.0.0 – 7.3.x. Earlier versions of the plugin exist for JIRA 6.4.x.

Installation and Upgrade

The plugin can be installed from the Atlassian Marketplace or the Find new add-ons page.

If you have installed the Rich Filters Add-on on JIRA version 6.4, you must update it after upgrading to JIRA 7.x. The add-on for JIRA 6.x will not work on JIRA 7.x, but all your data and configuration will be preserved.
