About the Rich Filter Two Dimensional Statistics gadget

The Rich Filter Two-Dimensional Statistics gadget is a two-dimensional version of the Rich Filter Statistics Gadget. It allows grouping issues on two criteria, and computes statistics for combinations of statistic types. It resembles Jira’s built-in Two Dimensional Filter Statistics 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 called working query;
the gadget can group the issues by an issue field or by a smart filter;
the gadget can group the issues by the values of a date or date time field to compute daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly statistics;
the result type displayed by the gadget can be customized (for instance, to show the sum of Story Points instead of the Issue Count);
the gadget can display custom ratios;
the gadget can display time series;
the user can change the sorting order by clicking on an icon next to the column or row name;
the gadget can also display the data as a chart; the user can switch between the table view and the chart view by clicking on an icon;
the content of the gadget can be exported to PDF, Excel (.xlsx), and CSV formats.

Example: Story Points aggregated by the issue field Priority and a smart filter named High-Level Status:

The labels and the colors displayed for High Level Status come from the clauses defined in the configuration of this smart filter.

2. Configuring the Rich Filter Two Dimensional Statistics gadget

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

Edit the gadget configuration as described below:

Setting	Description

Setting	Description
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. See the Rights and Permissions documentation page for details.
Working query	The working query is an additional JQL query that is permanently applied on top of the base Jira filter and any active quick filters in the controller to further filter the issues the gadget will work with. The working query is optional: if left empty, only the base Jira filter and the quick filters affect the issues used by the gadget.
Two breakdowns, one horizontal and one vertical, need to be configured. Below, we describe the breakdown settings only once.
Statistic type	Select the issue field or the smart filter on which the issues will be grouped. The drop-down list includes the smart filters defined in the selected rich filter: For each of the two breakdowns (horizontal and vertical), there are several types of configuration, depending on the selected Statistic type: a. Statistics on option fields (e.g., Priority, Status, select custom fields, etc.) or smart filters b. Statistics on date or date time fields c. Statistics on time series These options are further detailed in the sections below.

2.a. Statistics on option fields or smart filters

The following settings are applicable when the selected Statistic type is an option field (e.g., Priority, Status, select custom fields, etc.) or a smart filter:

Setting	Description

Setting	Description
Sort by	Select how to sort the values of your Statistic type: Total: this will sort by the result computed for each Statistic type group for the corresponding breakdown. Alphabetical: this will use alphabetical order for the Statistic type groups. Natural: this will use the native sorting order of the issue field or smart filter selected as Statistic type, i.e., the order that has been configured for the options of the field or smart filter. This sorting option is available only for the issue fields Priority, Status, and Issue Type and for smart filters.
Reverse sort order	If checked, the sort order is reversed.
Maximum rows/cols	These settings limit the number of rows and columns to display. The user can still display all the computed rows/columns by clicking on the numbers of rows/columns in rounded rectangles located at the bottom right of the gadget.
Show totals	If checked, the gadget displays the total values for the corresponding breakdown.
Value	Select the value to be computed for each Statistic type group. The following value types are available: 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 the issues in each group. Numeric: computes the sum of a numeric field for the issues in each group. For instance, if using Jira Software, the gadget can show how many Story Points there are for each Statistic type group. Custom values: displays a custom value configured in the rich filter (aggregation formula, display options, etc.). Custom ratios: displays a custom ratio configured in the rich filter (percentage or ratio).
