Documentation for JIRA 5.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

The 'Pie Chart' report displays issues returned from a specified project or issue filter, grouped by a specified field. For example, an issue filter can be created to retrieve all open issues for a particular version of a particular project. The 'Pie Chart' report can then be used to display these issues grouped by a specified field (e.g. Assignee).
