Smart Dashboard for Jira brings dynamic, centralized dashboard filtering directly into your Jira Cloud environment. Instead of maintaining multiple crowded dashboards or modifying individual JQL filters, Smart Dashboard allows you to control and filter multiple dashboard gadgets simultaneously from a single Control Gadget.
🎯 Dynamic Centralized Control
Smart Dashboard eliminates dashboard clutter by introducing interactive inter-gadget filtering. A single Control Gadget acts as a master controller, dynamically updating all connected Smart Dashboard gadgets in real time without reloading the page or altering underlying saved filters.
💡 By linking multiple gadgets to a central Control Gadget, team leaders and project managers can analyze different metrics across projects, assignees, or statuses on a single interactive dashboard.
⚡ Smart Filters
At the core of the app are Smart Filters. Configure reusable filter definitions that specify which fields, issues, and criteria can be interactively modified on your dashboards.
-
Centralized Criteria: Set up pre-defined filter contexts for your team or organization.
-
Instant Filtering: Apply instant criteria changes through the Control Gadget to update connected gadgets on the fly.
-
Simplified Management: Update filter parameters in one place rather than editing dozens of individual Jira filters.
📊 Interactive Smart Gadgets
Smart Dashboard provides specialized gadgets designed to work seamlessly with the Control Gadget:
-
🎛️ Smart Dashboard Control Gadget: The central controller that provides fast, interactive filtering controls across connected gadgets on the dashboard.
