Create Analytics Chart Similar to Jira "Assigned to Me" Gadget

[Steven Ferguson]

I'm building an AA dashboard to give a view of a particular slice of tickets.  These tickets could be assigned to a senior manager for approval, and it would be great if he could view those tickets in a way similar the "Assigned to Me" gadget in Jira.

Adapting the standard chart which shows "Top 5 assignees" seems the solution.  But I wonder how I can make the assignee "Me"? That is, whichever user is viewing the dashboard at that moment.

Hey Steven, thank you for posting your question here!

Glad to hear the Top 5 assignees chart seems to fit your requirement. You might consider using the {CURRENT_USER}. An additional filter to the pre-defined ones might look like so:

Assignee account ID = {CURRENT_USER}

This way whoever is viewing the chart will see their own assigned work items. Same variable can be used in custom charts too, so you are not limited by the template.

Here is our documentation on the variables which might help you additionally - https://support.atlassian.com/analytics/docs/what-are-variables/ 

I hope this helps! 

Kind Regards,

Valentina

Thanks Valentina.  I wasn't aware of the {Current User} argument.

It seems as though there are built-in variables such as {CURRENT_USER} available to the developer.  Is it a list available either online or within the software?

Hey Steven,

Variables you can use are listed in the the articles related to the Controls in Atlassian Analytics. Here is the main page - https://support.atlassian.com/analytics/docs/use-variable-controls-for-interactive-filtering/
