The Rich Filter Pie Chart Gadget

The Rich Filter Pie Chart gadget displays the collection of issues grouped by a specific field/criteria as a pie chart. It is similar to Jira’s built-in Pie Chart Gadget, but it is based on a rich filter instead of a Jira saved search and thus adds several new features:

the collection of issues used for the statistics 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 break down the results by an issue field or by a smart filter;
the value type displayed by the gadget can be customized (for instance, to show the sum of Story Points instead of the Issue Count);
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 statistic options are available if you add any of these extensions:

Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards allows you to display pie charts based on work log attributes – Worklog Author and Worklog Time Spent
Rich Filters::Service Desk Dashboards allow you to display pie charts based on Service Desk-specific fields, such as Customer Request Type and Organizations.

Configuring the Rich Filter Pie Chart Gadget

Add a new or edit an existing Rich Filter Pie 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	Optionally, you can customize the title of the gadget. If left blank, the default title will be Rich Filter Pie 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 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 displayed.
Statistic Type	Select the issue field or the smart filter on which the issues will be grouped. This setting is mandatory.
Maximum slices	Insert a numeric value between 2 and 10 to choose the maximum number of slices the gadget displays. If the value is empty, the gadget will display a maximum of 10 slices. If more statistic values exceed this limit, the smallest slices are collapsed into a single Other slice.
Sort slices by	Select how to sort the slices of your Pie Chart: Total: this will sort the slices by their values, starting with the largest slice. This is the default option. Natural: This will use the issue field’s or smart filter’s native sorting order, i.e., the order that has been configured for each field or smart filter's options. If they exist, special slices such as Other or None are always displayed at the end.
Values	Select the output type to be computed for each Statistic Type group. There are five kinds of possible values: Issue Count: computes the number of issues in each group. Time Tracking: computes the sum of one of the time-tracking fields (i.e., Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, Time Spent) for all issues in each group. Σ Time Tracking: the same as Time Tracking, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue. Numeric: computes the sum of a numeric field for all issues in each group. For instance, using Jira Software, the gadget can show the number of Story Points for each Statistic Type group. Σ Numeric: the same as Numeric, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue.
Layout	You can choose one of several layouts to display the results: Pie Chart - compact: a modern pie-chart layout that doesn’t take up a lot of space on the dashboard. Pie Chart - classic: a larger layout, similar to Jira’s built-in pie chart. Sliced Bar Chart: The most compact layout is useful for data-dense dashboards.
