Overview

xCharts is a charting app that allows to generate custom charts & reports directly within Jira to visualize project and issue analysis. New charts can easily be created in no time by using chart & report templates. Furthermore, these templates can be expanded by just scripting own charts using Groovy and Javascript.

Features


xCharts can be reached via the Jira navigation bar.


Creating your first chart

Creating a brand new chart can easily be done by using one of the many built-in templates.

By going to the "Chart Templates" any chart or report can be chosen. Clicking on the  button will create a new chart.


In the upcoming page the chart can be configured according to the specific needs by e.g. entering a JQL or selecting a Field to be summed up.

After setting the chart up it can be previewed by hitting "Chart Preview".

Finally, the chart can be saved by clicking on "Save as Chart".



Created charts can then be accessed by either going to the "Chart Browser" or by hitting "Charts" in the sidebar.
