The Rich Filter Date Bar Chart Gadget

The Rich Filter Date Bar Chart Gadget

The Rich Filter Date Bar Chart Chart gadget displays a bar chart based on the values of a date or date/time field. It is similar to Jira’s built-in Recently Created Chart gadget, but unlike the built-in gadget, which is always based on the Created date, the Rich Filter Date Bar Chart gadget can use any date field. It is much more customizable and based on a rich filter instead of a Jira-saved search. The gadget adds several new features: 

  • the collection of issues used to display the graph 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;

  • it can be based on any Jira date or date/time field, native (e.g., Created, Resolved, Due Date, etc.) or custom (i.e., Date Picker, Date Time Picker);

  • it can further split the bars based on additional criteria: predefined options, static filters, or smart filters;

  • it supports two different layouts – stacked columns and clustered columns;

  • the values used by the gadget can be customized (for instance, to show the sum of Story Points instead of the Issue Count);

  • 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 bar chart options are available if you add any of these extensions:
