JQL filters
Using JQL as a data source
You can use Jira Query Language (JQL) to define issues for your chart. There are two options: Saved JQL and Custom JQL.
Saved JQL filter
If you have the filter you use on your board, select JQL filters > Saved JQL. Type the first letters to start the search:
To select the filter, you need to have permissions. Contact your Jira admin for details.
Custom JQL
Use this option for maximum flexibility in defining which issues to include. Extended JQL functions provided by other Jira apps (e.g., ScriptRunner) are also supported.
Example use case
You have two teams working with different methodologies - one Scrum and one Kanban - and you want to track their progress as a single team of teams.
JQL example
project = "Alpha" OR project = "Omega"This filter combines both teams into a single data source, letting you visualize their joint progress on one chart.
Use breakdown by Project to view the progress and dynamics of each team separately.
