How to group JIRA issues by months

12 February 2014
Comments are off for this post

Being an Atlassian Expert, we use JIRA to track a lot of issues. Helpdesk tickets, project tasks, purchase requests, and etc. The Three Dimensional Date Gadgets plugin was created to generate reports such as

  • # of tickets filed by customers across the months and years
  • # of tasks assigned to each team member each month
  • # of tasks completed by each team member each month

The process used to be time-consuming as we had to run several JQL queries to tabulate the figures. Now we are able to get the reports at real-time.

It was designed to group the issues by any date field and commonly used fields.

We thought it was very useful and decided to put it on Atlassian Marketplace as a free plugin. The feedback was very encouraging and we received many suggestions to improve it.

Marketplace Review

Early this month, we have released the latest version (v1.4.0) fulfilling almost the entire the wish list:

Improved 3 Dimensional Monthly Gadget

Along with this release, we also listed Three Dimensional Date Gadgets Lite plugin. This free edition (which has the same basic features as the original Three Dimensional Date Gadgets Plugin v.1.3.1). The latest version (v.1.3.2) contains bug fixes for v1.3.1.

Lastly we would like to thank the Atlassian Marketplace team for their assistance. They conducted testing on the plugin and discovered a security vulnerability which was an oversight. The plugin was allowed to be listed after we made the fix. This gives us assurance on the quality of Paid via Marketplace plugins. Keep up the good work, Marketplace team!
