Hey everyone
I’m trying to find a way to make a chart that shows the status of Jira tickets on a Confluence page. I want to see how many tickets are done, in progress, or still to do.
At first, I thought about writing some code to do this, but it looks like Atlassian doesn’t like that idea. They mentioned it might cause security issues, and I also can’t really mess with the IT infrastructure at work.
So I’m now looking for a simple solution that doesn’t require coding or anything too complicated. I checked out some built-in Atlassian tools but couldn’t find what I need. Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
hey mate, have u tried jira gadgets? the pie chart gadget gives a quick view of ticket statuses on dashboards without coding. give it a shot for your confluence page.
I’ve found a solution that might work for you without any coding or IT hassle. The Jira Issues macro in Confluence is quite versatile for this purpose. You can insert it into your Confluence page and configure it to display a table of Jira issues, filtered by your desired statuses.
To set it up, add the Jira Issues macro to your page, then use JQL to filter the issues you want to show. Something like ‘project = YourProject AND status in (Done, ‘In Progress’, ‘To Do’)’ should work. While it’s not a chart per se, you can sort the table by status to get a clear view of how many tickets are in each category.
This method provides a clean, up-to-date representation of your ticket statuses directly on your Confluence page, and it’s fully supported by Atlassian, so you won’t run into any security concerns.
I’ve been in a similar situation, and I found a workaround that might help you out. Have you considered using the Jira Chart macro in Confluence? It’s a built-in feature that doesn’t require any coding or IT intervention.
To use it, just insert the Jira Chart macro on your Confluence page. You can then configure it to display a pie chart or bar graph showing ticket statuses. The key is to set up a JQL query that filters for the specific project and statuses you want to visualize.
For example, your JQL might look something like:
project = YourProjectKey AND status in (Done, ‘In Progress’, ‘To Do’)
This approach gives you a real-time view of ticket statuses without any security concerns. It’s been a game-changer for my team’s visibility into project progress. Let me know if you need any help setting it up!
