The Custom Chart report provides users with a flexible and interactive way to visualize multiple data sets within a single chart for the chosen period. It allows users to combine different chart types, such as bar, line, area, and scatter charts, to effectively display various aspects of their data.

Open

Specific functionality:

• At the top of the report card, users can quickly change the period using the dropdown or the date bar swap. Changes are temporary and do not affect the saved configuration.

• The chart supports horizontal and vertical orientations:

  • Horizontal: Y-axis shows metric values; X-axis shows the statistic type.

  • Vertical: Y-axis shows the statistic type; X-axis shows metric values.

• Clicking a bar, point, or area opens a sub-table showing related issues, their total count, and a link to view them in Jira. For full guidance on how to work with subtables, see the Working with SubtablesPreview.

• Hovering over a chart element displays a tooltip with the metric name and values for all series.

• Users can sort columns by clicking headers and adjust column widths as needed.

• Users can add an additional Y-axis (or X-axis for vertical charts) to assign to specific data series (bar, line, area, scatter) for better comparison of different scales.

The report has 5 tabs of configurations: Data source, Parameters, Display, Subtable and Description.

This report supports filtering issues by Basic Source, Saved Filter, or JQL query. For full guidance on how to configure your data source and , see the Data Source & Report DescriptionPreview

Users can select and configure different chart types to display their data:

• Bar chart

• Line chart

• Area chart

• Scatter chart

For each chart, user choose a Metric and a Calculation method (average, sum, or count which is available only for the Issues metric).

Bar charts support Stacked bars, combining multiple metrics into a single bar to show cumulative values.

The Statistic type field (e.g., Assignee, Issue type, Priority) is required to categorize project data.

Users can assign a Separate Y-axis (or X-axis for vertical orientation) to compare data series with different scales.

The Period field sets the time unit (default: “All time”). For Days, Weeks, or Months, users can also select a reference date field (e.g., Created, Status Category Changed) to define how time-based data is reported.

Open

For each chart type (Bar, Line, Area, Scatter), users can configure the following options:

• Chart color

• Statistic - enable or disable the following statistical aggregations for each metric:

  • Min: Displays the reference line indicating the minimum value.

  • Avg: Displays the average value as a reference line on the chart for the selected metric.

  • Max: Displays the maximum value as a reference line.

  • Sum: Displays the sum of values in the legend next to the corresponding metric.

• Display value: Toggle this option to show or hide numerical values on the chart.

Orientation field allows users to choose the orientation of the chart:

• Horizontal: Numeric values are displayed on the Y-axis, while the X-axis represents categories or groups (e.g., Assignees or Creators).

• Vertical: Axes are swapped, with numeric values displayed on the X-axis and categories/groups on the Y-axis.

Charts can be sorted based on selected metrics:

• Sort By: Choose a metric (e.g., Time Spent, Remaining Estimate) to order data.

• Order: Select either ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order for sorting.

✅ Track how much work is completed vs. carried over between sprints.

• Metric: Story Points (Sum)

✅ Benchmark how much effort is needed across different projects.

• Metric: Time Spent (Average)

• Statistic type: Project

✅ Evaluate whether team effort is proportional to the urgency of issues.

• Metric: Work Ratio

• Statistic type: Priority

✅ Evaluate estimation accuracy and actual effort at the individual level.

• Metric 1: Original Estimate (Sum) – Bar

• Metric 2: Time Spent (Sum) – Line or Area

• Statistic type: Assignee or Developer
