Here you define what data will be included into chart.
Name - chart name
Description
Projects - one or more Jira projects to show on the chart
Scheduling mode- in “By task start” mode, the task end date is calculated as the sum of task start date and task duration; in “By task end“ mode, the task start date is calculated as task end date minus task duration.
Task start field - defines a Jira field to store task start date/time. Both, date and datetime fields are allowed. Fields of type date can’t store time, so time component will be lost and tasks would always start at start of a day. For your convenience, the field type is displayed on the right side in parenthesis.
The field must be added by admin user to project’s create/edit screens.
Task end field - defines a Jira field to store task start date/time. Both, date and datetime fields are allowed. Fields of type date can’t store time, so time component will be lost and tasks would always start at start of a day. For your convenience, the field type is displayed on the right side in parenthesis.
The field must be added by admin user to project’s create/edit screens.
If scheduling mode is set by task end, planning for whole days is strongly recommended. Planning in hours and minutes will lead to incorrect app behavior. |
Chart start date / Chart end date - 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.
JQL filter - Jira JQL query, allows to narrow down the tasks selection for chart.
Impersonated view - normally, users without permissions to access projects or issues will not see them on a chart. This option lets users with restricted access to see tasks on a chart in view-only mode. Tu summarize, it allows everybody see the chart like chart creator does.
Screens - a convenient feature that allows to assign Jira fields to Jira screens directly from chart configuration screen. The Screens field is only visible to admin users. App will try to populate screens list automatically. We strongly recommend to additionally review and correct if needed Jira screens.
On Add field button click app would assign selected Task start field and Time Tracking field to selected screens. App requires Time tracking fields in order to specify task duration, and will not work correctly if the fields aren’t added to screens.
The fields to screens assignment can also be done via standard screens configuration in Jira admin area.
