Hey everyone, I’m stuck trying to make a dashboard for my current sprint in Jira. I’ve added some gadgets, but they’re showing data for all sprints instead of just the active one. For instance, I’ve got a status gadget that’s displaying tickets from every sprint in the project. I’ve played around with different gadgets and their settings, but I can’t figure out how to limit the view to only the current sprint’s info. Does anyone know a trick to create a dashboard that focuses solely on the active sprint? I’d really appreciate some tips on how to set this up correctly. Thanks!
I’ve faced this issue before, and there’s a solution that works well. The key is to use JQL (Jira Query Language) filters within your gadgets. When adding or editing a gadget, look for the ‘Filter’ option. There, you can input a JQL query like ‘sprint in openSprints()’ to show only active sprint items. This works for most gadgets, including the Sprint Burndown and Sprint Health gadgets. Another useful query is ‘sprint = ‘SPRINTNAME’’ if you want to target a specific sprint. Remember to update your dashboard regularly as sprints change. It takes some initial setup, but once done, you’ll have a dynamic dashboard that always shows current sprint data.
yo FlyingStar, I’ve been there too. here’s a quick fix: use JQL filters in ur gadgets. try ‘sprint in openSprints()’ to show only active sprint stuff. it’s a game changer for most gadgets. just remember to tweak it when sprints change. good luck!
As someone who’s been using Jira for years, I can tell you that getting a sprint-specific dashboard is totally doable. Here’s what I’ve found works best:
First, create a new dashboard specifically for your current sprint. Then, when adding gadgets, pay close attention to the filter options. Most gadgets allow you to use JQL (Jira Query Language) to narrow down what’s displayed.
The magic JQL formula I use is ‘sprint in openSprints() AND project = YourProjectKey’. This shows only items in the active sprint for your project. You can tweak this for each gadget as needed.
One trick I’ve found super useful is setting up a ‘Two Dimensional Filter Statistics’ gadget. It gives you a great overview of ticket statuses specifically for your current sprint.
Remember, you’ll need to update your dashboard when starting a new sprint, but it’s a small price to pay for the focused view you get. Hope this helps!
