The Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadget

The Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadget

The Rich Filter Time Series Chart gadget displays time series as line charts. The gadget is based on a rich filter and works as follows: 

  • the collection of issues used for the charts can be further filtered 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 can display together multiple time series as line charts to point out trends and hint at correlations between these;

  • the gadget can display results based on different value types, like the number of issues (Issue Count) or the sum of the number of fields (such as Story Points);

  • 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 time series options are available if you add any of these extensions:

Configuring the Rich Filter Time Series Chart Gadget

Add a new or edit an existing Rich Filter Time Series Chart 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 Time Series Chart.

Rich Filter

Select the rich filter the gadget will use.

Click the Rich Filter button to display the list of rich filters; you can either scroll through or use the search box to find the desired filter.

The gadgets’ configuration forms only show the rich filters you view. For details, see the section on permissions.

You can click the Open rich filter config link below the Rich Filter drop-down to open a new page with the configuration of the selected rich filter.

Open rich filter config

When the gadget is in display mode, select the Open rich filter config option under the Menu (2025-09-04_13-00-38.png) icon to navigate directly to its rich filter.

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: only the base Jira filter and the quick filters affect the issues displayed if left empty.

Aggregation periods

Select one of the following aggregation type options:

  • Period value: this is the default option – the chart displays the values of each individual aggregation period;

  • Cumulative trend: progressively adds the values from the previous periods, including only the issues starting with the first period of the chart;

  • Cumulative total: progressively adds the values from the previous periods, including the issues before the first period.

Time range









Together with its subsettings, this specifies the total time span for which the results will be computed. 

The time range subsettings depend on the option selected in the Time range drop-down as described below.

Time range

Time range subsetting

Description

Number of periods

Number of periods

Enter a number of periods. The time range corresponds to the specified number of consecutive aggregation periods.

Direction

Select how the periods are positioned relative to the current period. The possible options are:

  • Past – the time range includes past periods and the current period

  • Future – the time range includes the current period and future periods

  • Past & Future – the time range includes past periods, the current period, and future periods, with the current period in the middle of the range

Fields like Created or Resolved always contain values from the past. Therefore, you should always select Past for time series based on these fields, as you will never find any issues created or resolved in the future.

Fields like Due Date contain values that can be both past and future. For a time series based on this field, it is more useful to select Future to see statistics for issues that are due soon or Past & Future to see statistics for overdue issues.

Between dates

Start date

End date

Enter the two dates that define the limits of the time range (both specified dates are inclusive).

The inputs can be selected from a date picker or entered manually as a calendar date ("yyyy/MM/dd" or "yyyy-MM-dd") or as a time relative to the present (e.g. "-5d", "4w 2d").

Contextual options



These are predefined Time range options that depend on the selected Aggregation period. 

Possible options are: This year, Last year, This quarter, Last quarter, This month, Last month. 

Time Series

Select the time series you wish to display. The gadget will display only the time series with the same value type as the selected option in the previous setting. You can select up to 10 time series at a time.

The gadget can display only time series with the same value type together. Once the first time series has been selected, only time series with the same value type can be added.

Quick tables in the Times Series gadget

Quick tables enable users to display the values from charts in a tabular format easily. To toggle the quick table on or off, click the table icon in the gadget’s footer.
