• Trimmed Mean 30% (calculates the average without max and min values - 30% max/min values are ignored)

• Sample Variance

• Sample Standard Deviation

• Minimum

Showing table configuration areas

Click on the gear symbol next to the chart title to show and hide the configuration elements of the chart.

Field Containers

There are two containers to define the horizontal and vertical dimension of the pivot renderer. Drag & drop fields from the "unused container" to the vertical/horizontal field container.

Field configurations (sorting, show/hide, automatic selection

Clicking on the ^ Symbol next to field names opens the field configuration.

Sorting rows+columns

Inside the field configuration the order of field values can be changed by drag&drop of values.

Show & hide specific values

Within the field configuration the checkboxes can be used to show and hide specific values.

Automatic selection using value pattern

It is also possible to select autmatically values by using a simple pattern match string. By entering a text pattern the chart will automaticall exlude all values that do not contain the given pattern.

Choosing a Color Schemes

For charts renderes the used colors can be adjusted by selecting on of the available Color Schemes:

Exporting to excel

Using the button "Excel: create pivot table" the shown table can be exported to Microsoft Excel. This feature was tested with Windows7 and Microsoft Office 2010 and uses an ActiveXObject which requires Internet Explorer with activated ActiveX suppport.

The button is only active for certain renderer/aggregators (e.g. table/sum or table/count).

Note: this feature does not exist in Jira Cloud.

Jira Service Desk support

Mirrorlake Pivot Charts support Jira Service Desk fields like customer request type and SLA fields (e.g. time to resolution, time to first response etc).

Since one Jira SLA field contains a lot of useful data, one SLA field selected in the configuration will add multiple fields in the pivot chart view:

• <fieldname> (sla): SLA status (breached/met) of ongoing or last completed cycle

• <fieldname> (goal): SLA goal time

• <fieldname> (elapsed): elapsed SLA time of ongoing or last completed cycle

• <fieldname> (remaining): remaining SLA time of ongoing or last completed cycle

• <fieldname> (#cycles): amount of cycles (breached and met)

• <fieldname> (#breached): amount cycles where SLA was breached

• <fieldname> (#met): amount of cycles where SLA was met

Example: SLA Details per issue

Example: SLA status per customer request type

Example: SLA met per user and month

Example: Average time to resolution
