By Date Index

Performance Objectives: Charts for Jira offers a diverse range of options for data segmentation and display. These features significantly enhance the built-in Atlassian charting and reporting capabilities, empowering you to generate more insightful reports based of Jira data.

You can easily segment and visualize your data using the ‘by Date Index‘ option, which is supported by both the Performance Objectives and Performance Trend gadgets. This option is available for selecting the ‘Display by’ criteria for any date type field. It proves useful for comparing data from different periods side by side or setting period-over-period improvement goals.

Additionally, we utilize the “show weeks by index” feature in the “display by” section, simplifying the final appearance and ensuring easy distinction of week-by-week data within the defined period.
