The Rich Filter Simple Gauge Gadget
The Rich Filter Simple Gauge gadget displays proportions from issue counts, numeric and time-tracking issue fields, and custom ratios. The gadget is based on a rich filter and 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 issue collection by applying a gadget-specific JQL that we call a working query;
for the same collection of issues, the gadget can display multiple gauges at the same time;
each gauge can be configured in one of two ways:
with a filter & value pair – the filter can be a predefined filter or any static filter; the value can be the number of issues (Issue Count), or a numeric or time-tracking field (such as Story Points or Original Estimate); the proportion is computed as the sum of the values of the issues that satisfy the filter divided by the sum of the values of all the issues in the collection used by the gadget;
with a custom ratio – a dedicated configuration object for ratio definitions.
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:

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. |
Gauge Filter and Values | Configure the definition of each of the gauges to be displayed. You can configure up to 10 gauges in each gadget. Each gauge can be configured in one of two ways: with a filter & value pair or a custom ratio. Two selection drop-downs are used to configure the gauges: The filter and ratio drop-down contains:
The value 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:
