Jira Software Support

Gadgets let you customize the information you display on dashboards or wallboards in Jira applications. This information may include the number of open and resolved issues, labels used in selected projects, version reports, and many more.

Both Jira admins and users can manage gadgets on dashboards. The Jira admin can make changes to the system dashboard, while users can only create and customize their personal dashboards. What the user can see in gadgets on the dashboard depends on global and project permissions.

On this page, you’ll find all the gadgets that you can install on dashboards in Jira Core (JC), Jira Software (JSW), and Jira Service Management (JSM), including additional Bamboo, Crucible, and FishEye gadgets.

Gadget	JSW	JSM	Description
Jira Core gadgets
Assigned to Me			Shows all unresolved issues assigned to you.
Bubble Chart			Tracks the correlation of issues in a project or filter during a configured period based on: the number of days issues have been open the number of comments in issues the number of participants or votes in issues Notes The horizontal axis represents the number of days when issues remained open. The vertical axis represents the number of comments in issues. The bubble colors also indicate the correlation between the days when issues remained open and the number of comments. The green indicates low values and the red color indicates high values. Only the first 200 open issues are displayed on the bubble chart. You can configure the following settings for the chart: the period during which issue comments are considered recent the basis of the bubble size (participants or votes) automatic refresh of the bubble chart data every 15 minutes relative coloring to distinguish issues with more comments from issues with fewer comments logarithmic scale (the linear scale is the default) to distribute the bubbles from each other. We recommend that you use the logarithmic scale if the bubble chart contains a large range of data.
Created vs. Resolved Chart			Shows the work progress by showing the number of created and resolved issues for a set period. Notes The chart is based on your choice of project or issue filter. The chart can be either cumulative or show the issue count. An issue is marked as resolved in the time period if its resolution date fits into this period. The resolution date is the last date when the Resolution field was set to any non-empty value.

Watched Issues			Shows all issues you're watching.
Atlassian gadgets
Activity Stream			Shows activity on your instance. (Think of it as of a news feed.)
Average Age Chart			Shows the average age of unresolved issues. Notes This chart is based on your choice of project or issue filter and units of time (hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years). For the purposes of this gadget, an issue is defined as unresolved if it has no value in the Resolution field. The age of the issue is the difference between the current date and the date when the issue was created.
Heat Map			Shows the relative weighting of a selected field’s values in issues of a selected project or filter. For example, this gadget can be configured to show a heat map of issue priority in a particular project.
Jira Road Map			Shows which versions are due for release in a set period, as well as a summary of the progress made towards completing the issues in the versions.
Projects			Shows information on various issue filters from a selected project.
Recently Created Chart			Show a rate at which issues are being created as well as how many of these issues are resolved.
Resolution Time			Shows trends in the average time taken to resolve issues. Notes The report is based on your choice of project or issue filter and units of time (hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years). The resolution time is the difference between the dates when an issue was created and resolved. If the resolution date isn’t set, the gadget won’t consider this issue. The resolution date is the last date when the Resolution field was set to any non-empty value.
Time Since Chart			Show the number of issues for which a selected field was set on a selected date (for example, Created, Updated, Due, Resolved, or a custom field). Notes The Resolved field here is the system Resolution Date field. This is the last date when the Resolution field was set to any non-empty value. The report is based on your choice of project or issue filter and units of time (hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years).
Wallboard Spacer Gadget			Lets you modify the layout of your wallboards by adding custom space between gadgets. Notes You should set the height of a spacer in pixels and place the gadget in the preferred position on the dashboard.

Jira Software gadgets
Agile Wallboard Gadget			Helps you see how you’re tracking with an agile board on your wallboard or dashboard.
Days Remaining in Sprint Gadget			Shows how many working days you have before the current sprint ends.
Sprint Burndown Gadget			Shows the burndown for a sprint in a line chart. Notes The vertical axis represents the estimation statistic. The gadget will only display uncompleted sprints.
Sprint Health Gadget			Shows a summary of issues in a sprint in a color-coded bar graph. Notes The colors in this gadget match the colors in the column configuration. The completed work is calculated based on the estimation statistic for a board and is represented with the green part of the progress bar. For example, if you have 50 story points in a sprint and you have 3 resolved issues with 10 story points, the Work complete will be 20% (10 out of 50 story points). The gadget doesn’t show the progress of work logged in the Remaining Estimate and Time Spent fields in Jira. Adding or removing an issue from a started sprint is considered a change of scope. The percentage is calculated by using the statistic configured for the board. For example, if you started a sprint with 50 story points and add an issue with 5 story points, the Sprint Health gadget will show a 10% scope change. If you add or remove issues without estimates, the scope change won’t be altered. If you're using Jira’s time tracking, the scope change won’t show. The Blocker field counts all blockers with the statuses To Do or In Progress. For more information, see Configuring estimation and tracking
