The Ultimate Two Dimensional Statistics gadget displays a configurable table of statistics for the organization’s issues.

 

Step #1 - Add a the gadget to a dashboard

 

 

Start by filtering the gadget list on the word “Ultimate”…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and look for the Ultimate Two Dimensional Statistics gadget, then click “Add”

 

 

 

 

A new instance of the Ultimate Two Dimensional Statistics gadget should appear on the dashboard, much like this one.

Because this is a newly created gadget, the settings panel is displayed and ready for setting up

 

 

 

 

Step #2 - Select the X and Y Axis fields

 

The Ultimate Two Dimensional Statistics gadget presents a table of statistics. For this demonstration, our fictional team needs to know more detail about the average issue story points and in particular the team needs to see everyone’s individual average story points, broken down further by the types of issues as well.

 

 

The default configuration presents the Issue Type field on the Y-Axis (rows) and the Assignee field on the X-Axis (columns).

Let’s reverse that so that the Assignee is on the Y-Axis and the Issue Type is on the X-Axis.

 

 

 

Step #3 - Select the number field and math operation

 

 

 

In this demonstration, the number field being focused on are story points so let’s select that field from the Number Field drop-down

 

 

 

 

and specifically it’s the average of story points, let’s select that from the Math Operation drop-down

 

 

 

Step #4 - Select the sorting direction

 

 

The next setting is for the ordering of the rows and columns, with only two options: ascending (lowest to highest) or descending (highest to lowest)

 

The default of ascending order is what’s typically used

 

 

 

 

Step #5 - Specify the maximum number of rows per page

 

 

 

The Rows Per Page setting is a numerical value limiting the total number of rows displayed when paginating the table data. The default value of 10 is usually good

 

 

 

 

Step #6 - Specify the maximum number of columns to include

 

The Ultimate Two Dimensional Statistics gadget can paginate rows but not columns, mostly as a design decision that limits users to always configuring for a many-rows-and-few-columns approach to displaying the statistics. Sometimes however it’s unavoidable and so there’s a way to limit the maximum number of columns presented.

The default is to include all columns.

 

 

Step #Finished!

 

With all of those changes made, let’s save the settings and see what this looks like!

 

 

Ta-da!
