Pivot Table Gadget

Row & Column Fields

The Pivot Table is built by placing Jira fields on rows and columns. Each unique combination of field values becomes a row or column in the grid.

How Fields Work

  • Row Fields → each unique value (or combination of values) becomes a table row
  • Column Fields → each unique value (or combination of values) becomes a table column
  • The cell at the intersection shows the aggregated value for issues matching both the row and column

Multi-Level Grouping

You can add up to 3 fields per axis to create nested grouping.

Example - 2 Row Fields:

  • Row Field 1: Sprint
  • Row Field 2: Issue Type
  • Result: Each sprint expands into Story/Bug/Task sub-rows

Example - 2 Column Fields:

  • Column Field 1: Status
  • Column Field 2: Priority
  • Result: Each status expands into High/Medium/Low sub-columns

Adding Fields

  1. Open the Pivot Table gadget in edit mode
  2. In the Output Configuration tab, click + Add Row Field or + Add Column Field
  3. Search for and select a Jira field
  4. Repeat to add up to 3 fields per axis

Ordering Fields

Drag fields up or down in the list to control grouping order:

  • The first field in the list is the outermost grouping (main rows/columns)
  • The second field creates sub-groups within the first
  • The third field creates sub-groups within the second
