About custom ratios

Custom ratios are computed user-defined outputs that are used in rich filter gadgets. They are defined as ratios with a numerator and a denominator, which can be based on issue count or numeric or time-tracking fields. Optional JQL filtering conditions can filter the contributing issues for the numerator and/or the denominator. Custom ratios can thus be used to compute ratios of different values.

Below is an example of a Rich Filter Simple Gauge gadget that displays two gauges based on two custom ratios: Completion rate and Work ratio.

Custom ratios key attributes

The Custom ratios section of your rich filter lets you add new custom ratios and view existing ones and their configurations.

The key attributes of a custom ratio are:

Attribute

Description

Attribute

Description

Name

Each custom ratio has a Name that must be unique among the custom ratios within the rich filter.

Color

The selected color will be used to display the ratio in some of the rich filter gadgets.

Numerator Base value

The value on which the numerator of your custom ratio is based is selected among Issue Count or numeric and time-tracking fields.

Numerator Base value

Numerator JQL

You can optionally define a JQL query to filter the issues contributing to the custom ratio's numerator. Only the issues that satisfy this query will be considered when calculating the numerator.

Denominator Base value

The value on which the denominator of your custom ratio is based. The numerator and the denominator can be based on the same field or on two different fields of the same type. The denominator can also be a constant (fixed value), which you enter when defining the custom ratio.

The available options for the Denominator Base value depend on the selected numerator base value:

If the numerator base value is

Then the possible options for the denominator base value are

Issue Count

Same as numerator

Issue Count

Constant (fixed value)

A numeric field

Same as numerator

Constant (fixed value)

Any numeric field

A time-tracking field

Same as numerator

Any time-tracking field

Denominator Base value

 

Denominator JQL

You can optionally define a JQL query to filter the issues which contribute to the denominator of the custom ratio. Only the issues which satisfy this query will be taken into account when calculating the denominator.

Display format

Specifies the format used to display custom ratios in the rich filter gadgets. The available options are:

  • Percentage – for example, if the value is 3/10, the gadget displays 30%

  • Ratio – for example, if the value is 3/10, the gadget displays 0.3

If the Ratio option is selected, you have the possibility to further select how many decimals to display: none or exactly 3, 2 or 1 decimals.

Display format

Custom ratios are always displayed as percentages in gauge gadgets, independently of this setting.

Edit custom ratios

The Custom ratios section of your rich filter also lets you perform the following operations:

  1. Click Create custom ratio button at the top-right of the page.

  1. Type a Name, select a color, configure the Numerator and Denominator, and choose the Display format.

  2. Click Create.

Create a new custom ratio

You can add up to 50 custom ratios in each rich filter.

Reorder the custom ratios list

Hold the pointer over the queue's Grid (grid icon.png) icon, then drag the custom ratio up or down to the new position.

Reorder the custom ratios list

This order is applied when displaying the custom ratios in the settings of the rich filter gadgets.

Use custom ratios in Rich Filter gadgets

Once defined, the custom ratios can be used in the rich filter gadgets that support them. Below, we provide the list of rich filter gadgets that can display custom ratios:

  • The Rich Filter Simple Gauge gadget displays gauges based on three custom ratios: Completion rate, Work ratio, and Highest priority ratio.
