Two Dimensional Statics

The Two Dimensional Statistics gadget enhances the functionality of the built-in Two Dimensional Statistics gadget for Jira by adding features that facilitate deeper data analysis. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its capabilities:

1. Functionality Overview: Like the standard Two Dimensional Statistics gadget, this version allows users to analyze issues based on two dimensions, typically involving one categorical field on the vertical axis and another on the horizontal axis. This setup helps visualize the relationships and counts of issues across these dimensions.

2. Total Column: One of the key enhancements is the inclusion of a total column. This column automatically sums the values of a specified numeric custom field or those that can be converted into numbers for all issues that fall within each category represented in the horizontal axis. This feature is beneficial for quickly assessing overall metrics related to the selected dimension.

3. Total Row: In addition to the total column, the gadget also features a total row at the bottom of the table. This row aggregates the same numeric custom field across all categories represented in the vertical axis. This functionality enables users to see the overall totals for each category, making it easier to track performance or other metrics across different segments.

4. Numeric Custom Fields: The gadget is designed to work specifically with numeric custom fields or those that can be converted into numbers, allowing users to focus on key performance indicators or other measurable data. This could include fields such as estimated time, story points, or financial figures, depending on the needs of the project or organization.

5. User-Friendly Display: The results are presented in a clear table format that makes it easy to view the counts and sums side by side. This layout not only aids in visual analysis but also allows for quick comparisons between different categories and dimensions.

6. Use Cases: The Two Dimensional Statistics gadget is particularly useful for project managers, analysts, and team leads who need to report on metrics across different categories. For example, it can help track progress on tasks across various projects or teams, evaluate workloads, or assess performance against specific goals.

7. Customizability: Users have the ability to customize which fields are represented in the gadget, enabling them to focus on the most relevant data for their analysis. This flexibility ensures that the gadget can be tailored to meet specific reporting and analytical needs.

In summary, the Two Dimensional Statistics gadget provides a robust tool for visualizing and analyzing data in Jira, combining the basic functionality of the built-in version with enhanced capabilities for aggregating numeric data through total columns and rows.

Here’s a streamlined six-step guide for setting up your 2D gadget:

1. Filter Selection: Select the Filter: In this initial step, either choose an existing filter or create a custom JQL query. This option lets you tailor your filter without the need to set up a new one.

2. Set Rows per Page: Specify the number of rows you want to show in the results table to manage data pagination.

3. Select X-Axis Field: Choose the field you want to display on the X-axis, defining the horizontal dimension.

4. Select Y-Axis Field: Determine the field to display on the Y-axis, representing the vertical dimension.

5. Select Calculated Value Field: Choose the field that corresponds to the value you wish to calculate (issue count, the sum of numeric & time-traking fields or custom values)

6. Configure Additional Options:

   • Set options for grouping the data by the X and Y axes for more concise results.

   • Include links to related tickets for easier navigation.

   • Define the refresh rate for the gadget (15 minutes) to keep the data current.

This guide will help you effectively configure your 2D gadget to make the most of your data visualization.

Once done, click "Save" to apply your settings and view the gadget on your dashboard.
