Millarum Charts — Millarum Dashboards

Overview

Use this widget to answer questions like:

How are my open issues distributed by Status?
What is the breakdown of issues by Issue Type?
Which Assignee has the most open work?
How does Priority spread across the current sprint?

You can add multiple Charts widgets to the same dashboard, each configured with a different chart type or grouping field, to build a rich visual overview of your work.

Chart Examples

Pie Chart — Issues by Type

Pie chart grouping issues by Issue Type with percentage labels

Horizontal Bar Chart — Issues by Status

Horizontal bar chart — great for many categories or long field value names

Vertical Stacked Bar — Type + Status

Stacked bar chart comparing Issue Type (primary) against Status (sub-grouping)

Adding the Widget

Click Add gadget on your dashboard.
Search for "Millarum Charts".
Click Add. The widget will prompt you to configure it.

Configuration

Click the ⚙ Configure icon on the gadget to open the configuration panel.

Chart Type

Type	Description
Pie	Classic pie chart — segments proportional to issue count
Donut	Like Pie but with a hollow center; total count shown in the middle
Gauge	Semi-circular gauge — best for single-dimension completion metrics
Horizontal Bars	Horizontal bar chart — ideal for comparing many categories with long names
Horizontal Stacked Bars	Bars stacked by a second field — compare two dimensions simultaneously
Vertical Bars	Vertical bar chart — good for ranked or time-based comparisons
Vertical Stacked Bars	Vertical bars stacked by second field

Grouping Field (Primary Dimension)

Select the Jira field to group issues by. Available options include:

Issue Type, Status, Project, Priority
Assignee, Reporter, Resolution
Labels, Components, Fix Version, Affected Versions
Created Date, Updated Date, Due Date
Any custom field returned by your Jira instance

Sub-Grouping Field (Stacked charts only)

For Horizontal Stacked Bars and Vertical Stacked Bars, choose a second field to stack segments by. For example:

Primary: Issue Type → Sub-grouping: Status
Shows the status breakdown inside each issue type bar.
Primary: Project → Sub-grouping: Priority
Shows the priority distribution within each project.

Color Palette

Palette	Character
Atlassian	Blue, teal, green, yellow, orange — Atlassian brand colors
Ocean	Deep blues and teals
Forest	Greens and earth tones
Sunset	Oranges, pinks, purples
Earth	Browns, tans, olive greens
Neon	Bright, vivid accent colors
Pastel	Soft, muted tones
Warm	Reds, oranges, yellows
Cool	Blues, purples, greens
Mono	Black-to-grey grayscale

Legend Position

Choose where the chart legend appears: Bottom, Top, Left, or Right.

Value Display

For Pie, Donut, Gauge, and Stacked charts, choose whether labels show:

Numbers — raw issue counts (e.g., 14)
Percentages — relative proportion (e.g., 23%)

Drilldowns

Click any chart segment, bar, or slice to open a Jira issue search pre-filtered to that exact combination of field values and the current Slicer filters. This makes it easy to go from "the chart shows 18 Blocked bugs" directly to the list of those specific issues.

Tips

Pie/Donut work best with 2–8 distinct values. Many categories create cluttered, hard-to-read slices.
Horizontal Bars are ideal when category labels are long (e.g., assignee names, long status names).
Stacked Bars reveal patterns-within-patterns — e.g., which issue types have the most "In Progress" items.
Use Percentages in the Gauge chart type for a clean completion-rate view.
Add two Charts widgets side by side — one for Issue Type, one for Status — for a richer at-a-glance overview.
