Dashboard Gadget - How to display all categories regardless of data returned (0 or non-zero)

[sowjanya gondi]

I am using 'Two Dimensional Filter Statistics' Gadget in the Dashboard. Please see the screenshot. The result displayed is automatically filtering based on presence of the data. For example, if there is no data for that particular 'Priority' that 'Priority' is not displayed. I want to display all the categories of the Y-axis defined field (in this case Priority). Management wants to see all the Priorities in the report even though the data shows zero. Is this possible? Is there a place to tweak it?

Thank you.

Hi sowjanya_gondi,

Tweak: I'm afraid: no

I'm afraid, tweaking that gadget to show all y-axis elements (even w/o data) is not possible. I think, there should be a checkbox in the configuration screen of the gadget, but there is none (or at least I don't see one (on Jira Cloud)).

Suggestion for a Workaround

Maybe, you could do a workaround and add "Filter Results" gadgets instead - one for each of the priorities (if your project doesn't have too many of them).

You also could also set colors for the gadgets with high priorities to elevate their importance.

If there is no data for one of the gadgets, viewers would clearly see: No issues in that prio-category.

What do you think?

Kind regards

Ingo

Thanks a lot Ingo. Yes, I will have that approach as a workaround in case that it becomes really necessary. For now, we need to see the count. I will retain the same gadget.

Maybe raising a request to add that "show all rows"-feature would be a good idea, too. Atlassian would just have to add that boolean flag to the configuration screen of the gadget.

Sure. I could do that.
