Chart start date / Chart end date - the dates define chart boundaries. In most cases, data outside this range is not visible, and chart can only be scrolled within this range.
These dates can be left blank. In this case, app will try to determine dates based on chart tasks. But this might be inconvenient when creating a chart since task dates aren’t yet defined and chart range would be too narrow.Task duration - defines how task duration is calculated.
There are two options:
1) Calculated based on start and end dates only
Task duration is calculated as task end date minus task start date. Default duration of one day will be set if start or end date aren’t provided. This option requires Task start field and Task end field (see above) to be configured. Otherwise, an error will be shown.
2) Calculated based on provided estimateestimates, otherwise based on start and end dates
Task duration equals task estimate. Estimate comes from Jira’s estimates. The task estimates come from Jira standard time tracking fieldfields (remaining estimate, time spent, etc.). If estimate is estimates are missing, task duration will be calculated as end date minus start date.

Please note that the tasks will acquire a fixed duration, once edited on a chart that is configured with a task duration calculation Calculated based on start and end dates only. Meaning that , task duration will be changed without affecting the task estimates in Jira. Thus, you may want to rely on this information when editing tasks via drag-and-drop or resizing. Even though the , task duration is switched to Calculated based on provided estimate, otherwise based on start and end dates, the described above behavior will be observed. In order to reset the behavior you would have to clear task duration on Edit dialog. |
Impersonated view - normally, users without permissions to access projects or issues expected behavior is that Jira user without a permission to access a project will not see them its tasks on a chart. This option setting lets chart creators to allow users with restricted access to see the project tasks on a chart in viewa read-only mode. In other words, it allows users with restricted access to see a chart the way chart owner does.
The name of a person who enabled the impersonated view is shown next to enabled Impersonated view.
To summarize, this option allows everybody to see a chart like the impersonation person does (even though, viewers might not have have the required Jira permissions).
