The Rich Filter Simple Counter gadget

The Rich Filter Simple Counter gadget

The Rich Filter Simple Counter gadget displays issue counts or field sums for a list of issues. The gadget is based on a rich filter and has the following features: 

  • the collection of issues used for the counting 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;

  • for the same collection of issues, the gadget can display multiple counts at the same time – based on the number of issues (Issue Count) or the sum of number and time tracking fields (such as Story Points or Original Estimate);

  • the gadget’s title can be customized.

Working query

The working query is a JQL query combined with the base filter of the rich filter before searching for issues. You can use this to create counters for different subsets of your 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.

Values

Select the values to be displayed. You can select up to 10 values at a time.

Values

There are several kinds of possible values:

  • Issue Count: displays the number of issues.

  • Time Tracking: displays the sum of one of the time-tracking fields (i.e., Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, Time Spent) for all issues returned.

  • Σ Time Tracking: the same as Time Tracking, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue.

  • Numeric: displays the sum of a numeric field for all issues returned. For instance, using Jira Software, the gadget can show the sum of Story Points for the issues returned. 

  • Σ Numeric: the same as Numeric, but it also includes the values in its sub-tasks for each issue.

  • Custom values: displays a custom value, as configured in the rich filter (aggregation formula, display options, etc.
