🎛️ Millarum Slicer
The central filter hub that drives every other Millarum widget on your dashboard.
Overview
The Slicer is a compact filter bar that sits at the top of your dashboard. Every filter you apply here is instantly broadcast to all other Millarum widgets on the same dashboard — no manual refresh required.
You can filter by:
- Project — one or more Jira projects
- Issue Type — Bug, Story, Task, Epic, Sub-task, etc.
- Status — To Do, In Progress, Done, any custom status
- Extra Fields — Assignee, Priority, Fix Version, Labels, Due Date, or any custom Jira field
All filters are multi-select: combine multiple values within a field and across multiple fields simultaneously.

Setting Up the Slicer
Step 1 — Add the Slicer to your dashboard
- Click Add gadget on your Jira dashboard.
- Search for "Millarum Slicer".
- Click Add.
Step 2 — Configure the Slicer name (optional)
When the configuration dialog appears, enter a custom name for the Slicer
(e.g., Team Alpha Filters). This name is displayed at the top of the gadget.
Click Save Configuration.
Step 3 — Apply your first filter
- Click the Project dropdown and select one or more projects.
- Optionally click Type to filter by issue type.
- Optionally click Status to filter by status.
- Click ↺ Apply to broadcast the filters to all other widgets.
Leaving a dropdown empty means "all values" — not "no results". Only fields with active selections act as filters.
Extra Fields
Click + Add field to add an additional filter dimension beyond the three core dropdowns.
| Field | Description |

| Reporter | Filter by who created the issue |
| Labels | Filter by Jira labels |

| Custom Fields | Any custom field available in your Jira instance |
Each extra field displays a count badge when values are selected, and highlights in blue when active.
Date Filters
When you add a date field (e.g., Due Date, Created), special range options appear:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Today | Issues due/created today |
| Last 7 days | Rolling 7-day window |
| Last 30 days | Rolling 30-day window |
| This month | Current calendar month |
| Last month | Previous calendar month |

| Custom range… | Pick exact From / To dates using a date picker |
Presets
Presets let you save and restore named filter combinations with a single click.
Saving a Preset
- Configure your desired filters.
- Click the ⋯ Presets button.
- Enter a preset name (e.g.,
Sprint 42). - Choose scope: Personal (visible only to you) or Shared (visible to all dashboard viewers).
- Click Save preset.
Loading a Preset
- Click ⋯ Presets.
- Click any saved preset name to instantly restore that filter combination.
Deleting a Preset
Click the ✕ button next to any preset in the list.
Matching Issue Count
The Slicer displays a live count of matching issues on the right side of the filter bar. This count updates when you apply filters, giving you instant feedback on the scope of your selection before examining the other widgets.
Tips
- Active filters turn blue. Dropdowns with selected values are highlighted so you can quickly see what's active.
- No selection = no filter. An empty dropdown means "all values", so you always see data even with no filters set.
- Presets speed up standups. Create presets for common views like "My open bugs" or "This sprint" and switch between them in one click.
- Use shared presets to give your whole team consistent, pre-built views of the dashboard.
