The Rich Filter Smart Gauges Gadget

The Rich Filter Smart Gauges gadget displays proportions from issue counts, numeric and time-tracking issue fields, and custom ratios. The gadget is based on a rich filter, and the gauges are based on the features of a smart filter. The gadget works as follows:

the gadget builds a collection of issues based on the rich filter's base query and on the active quick filters (which means the results can be refined using Rich Filter Controller gadgets);
the gadget itself can further refine the results by applying a gadget-specific JQL that we call a working query;
the gadget computes gauges based on the clauses of a smart filter; for each clause, there will be a gauge;
the gadget can display results based on different values, like the number of issues (Issue Count) or the sum of the number and time tracking fields (such as Story Points or Original Estimate);
the value used for the calculation can be the number of issues (Issue Count) or a numeric or time-tracking field (such as Story Points or Original Estimate);
the gadget supports multiple display layouts;
the gadget’s title can be customized.

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 gauge options are available if you add any of these extensions:

Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards allows you to display gauges based on work log queries and on the Worklog Time Spent
Rich Filters::Service Desk Dashboards will enable you to display gauges based on the SLA %Met or %Breached ratio

Configuring the Rich Filter Smart Gauges Gadget

Add a new or edit an existing Rich Filter Smart Gauges gadget in your Jira dashboard. The configuration form of the gadget will be displayed:

Edit the gadget configuration as described in the following table:

Setting	Description

Setting	Description
Title	You can optionally customize the gadget's title. If left blank, the default title will be Rich Filter Smart Gauges.
Rich Filter	Select the rich filter the gadget will use. Click on the Rich Filter button to display the list of rich filters; you can either scroll through or use the search box to find the filter you need. The gadgets’ configuration forms only show the rich filters you can view. Check the permissions section for more details. The link in the description line below the Rich Filter button opens a new page with the configuration of the selected rich filter. Also, when the gadget is in display mode, you can navigate directly to its rich filter using the Rich Filter option in the menu at the top right of the gadget.
Working Query	The working query is a JQL query combined with the rich filter's base filter before searching for issues. The working query is optional: if left empty, only the base Jira filter and the quick filters affect the issues used for the output.
Smart Filter	Select the smart filter. For each clause of the smart filter, the gadget builds a gauge. If the smart filter has color tag types, the gadget will display the results using the configured colors. Otherwise, a default color will be used.
Show None	Select whether the gadget should also display a gauge for issues that do not match any of the smart filter's clauses.
Computation Mode	You can select between two options: Use smart clauses as gauge filters: if this option is selected, then the clauses of the smart filter are used to compute the gauge levels relative to all the issues included in the gadget. All gauges have the same total value. Use smart clauses as gauge totals: if you select this option, the smart filter’s clauses are used to compute each gauge's total. All gauges use the same filter to compute the gauge level, which needs to be selected separately (see screenshot below). A custom ratio and a value for this computation mode may be used instead of a gauge filter.
Value ^{Applies only if}^{computation mode}^is^{Use smart clauses as gauge filters}	Select the value to base the gauges on: Issue Count: counts the number of issues. Numeric: computes the sum of a numeric field. For instance, if Jira Software is used, the gadget can use the sum of Story Points for the issues returned. Σ Numeric: the same as Numeric, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue. Time Tracking computes the sum of one of the time-tracking fields (e.g., Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, or Time Spent). Σ Time Tracking: This is the same as Time Tracking, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue.
Gauge filter & value ^{Applies only if}^{computation mode}^is^{Use smart clauses as gauge totals}	For this computation mode, the gauges can be configured in one of two ways: with a filter & value pair or with a custom ratio. Two drop-downs are used to configure the gauges: The first drop-down contains: The static filters defined in the selected rich filter Three predefined filters: Resolved Issues (`resolution is not EMPTY`), Unresolved Issues (`resolution = Unresolved`), Status category: Done (`statusCategory = Done`) The custom ratios defined in the selected rich filter 2. The second drop-down is displayed only if a filter (predefined or static) is selected in the first drop-down; the second drop-down contains the following options: Issue Count: counts the number of issues. Numeric: computes the sum of a numeric field. For instance, if Jira Software is used, the gadget can use the sum of Story Points for the issues returned. Σ Numeric: the same as Numeric, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue. Time Tracking: computes the sum of one of the time-tracking fields (e.g., Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, Time Spent). Σ Time Tracking: This is the same as Time Tracking, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue. To sum up, to configure the gauges: Select a filter or a custom ratio. If a custom ratio is selected, the gauge definition is complete. If a filter was selected in Step 1, select a value to complete the gauges definition.
Layout	You can choose one of several layouts to display the results: Gauges: The gadget displays a gauge for each clause of the smart filter. If the Computation Mode is Use smart clauses as gauge filters: If the Computation Mode is Use smart clauses as gauge totals: Percentages & Ratios: for each clause of the smart filter, the gadget displays the percentage and ratio out of the total. Percentages Only: for each clause of the smart filter, the gadget displays the percentage out of the total. Counters & Percentages: for each clause of the smart filter, the gadget displays a counter and the percentage out of the total.
