Adding charts

Click + Add widget to open the builder. There are two ways in: start from a use case, or build your own.

The Add-widget dialog — the chart-type builder on the left, the use-case gallery on the right

Start from a use case​

The gallery on the right of the dialog lists ready-made recipes, grouped by theme (flow & cycle time, agile, epics & points, components & teams, dependencies, and more). Examples: Issues by status, Cycle-time control chart, Velocity — committed vs completed, % within SLA, Dependency matrix.

Pick one and it loads into the builder pre-configured, so you can adjust the dataset scope, dimension, or measure before adding it. This is the fastest way to get a sensible chart and learn what each control does.

Build your own​

If you'd rather start from scratch:

  1. Choose a chart type — bar, stacked, grouped, pie, line, area, control chart (scatter), KPI, gauge, pivot, activity calendar, table, or dependency matrix. See Chart types.
  2. Group by a dimension — status, assignee, priority, component, epic, sprint, a derived dimension like cycle-time bucket, or a date bucket.
  3. Measure — pick a stat (count, distinct, sum, average, median, a percentile, min, max) and, where relevant, a field (issue count, story points, or cycle-time days).

Give it a title and click + Add widget. The new chart drops onto the dashboard and is briefly highlighted so you can find it.

See Dimensions & measures for the full catalog of what you can group by and measure.

Tune a widget after adding​

Open a widget's ⚙ settings (gear icon on its header) to refine it:

  • Size — span one or two columns, and a shorter or taller height.
  • Colors — palette, per-segment color pins, and conditional-formatting rules. See Colors & conditional formatting.
  • Legend — show or hide it (pie and stacked charts).
  • Rename / merge segments — relabel a value, or fold several values into one group.
  • Overlays — add a trend line, a moving average, or a cumulative line.
  • Reference lines & thresholds — draw a target line, or red/yellow/green bands for KPIs.
  • Drill-down hierarchy — define the levels a chart drills through (e.g. issue type → status).
Focus on one chart

Click a widget's maximize control to view any chart full-screen — useful for dense pivots, control charts, and the dependency matrix.

Rearrange the dashboard​

  • Reorder widgets by dragging a widget's grip handle.
  • Resize a widget with the corner handle, or set an exact span/height in its settings.
