QUICK FILTERS FOR JIRA DASHBOARDS
One dashboard. Every team's view.
Dynamic filters, charts, tables and gadgets — build the dashboard once, and every team switches it to their slice with one click.

Every team wants its own dashboard. That's the problem.
It starts reasonably. The dev team needs their sprint view. Their lead needs the cross-team view. A department head asks for theirs. Each request becomes another dashboard — until the instance holds hundreds, nobody knows which is current, and admins maintain them all.
Native dashboards have limits of their own. Different views mean more filters and gadgets, and reporting questions like total story points, estimates or other number fields quickly push teams toward manual workarounds.
So teams export to spreadsheets, admins build dashboard #201, and the "single source of truth" is anything but.
Quick Filters turns many dashboards into one. Build it once, wire it with filters, and let every team — every sprint, every space — pull their own view from the same board.
What makes a universal dashboard work
EVERY TEAM, THEIR OWN VIEW
Filter the whole dashboard with one click
Add dropdowns, buttons and input fields to the Quick Controller, and the whole dashboard follows — every Quick Gadget refiltered to the team, sprint, space or assignee you pick.
One click to switch views. Selections that survive a page refresh. No admin queue for "can we get our own board."
- Quick Controller: dropdown filters, buttons and input fields, on the dashboard
- One click: every gadget refilters together — no per-gadget fiddling
- Persistent selections: your view is still your view after a refresh
- Self-service: teams change views themselves, no admin rights needed
“With this add-on we have been able to create a 'universal dashboard'[...]It's used daily.”
Ville Kuusela
NOTHING SEPARATE TO MAINTAIN
Configure everything on the dashboard itself
No external configuration layer to learn, set up or keep alive. Every filter, chart and gadget — including advanced JQL filters — is set up right where you see it.
What you build is all there is to maintain.
- On-dashboard setup: filters and gadgets configured in place, not in a separate admin surface
- Advanced JQL: build precise filters directly on the Quick Controller
- Smart dropdowns: options narrow to what's actually relevant
- Lean by design: nothing extra to administer as reporting needs multiply
“Quick Filters significantly reduced our time to manage dashboards as we can toggle between different sprints/releases with just 1 click of a button.”
Maxim Rybkov
THE NUMBERS NATIVE JIRA CAN'T SHOW
Add up the metrics that matter
Aggregate story points, estimates, costs, business value or any other Jira number field with statistics, charts and tables — then filter those metrics dynamically across teams, projects and spaces.
Matching field names count as one field across spaces, so metrics roll up cleanly — even across team-managed and company-managed projects.
- Sum any number field: story points, estimates, costs, budgets, business value, quantities
- Row and column totals: two-dimensional tables that actually add up
- Quick Work Item Count: thresholds that flag trouble before it's a crisis
- Cross-space statistics: matching fields aggregate across projects and space types
“We needed the ability to sum number fields in gadget and display the sums of the columns as well as the individual rows as well. This...worked perfectly!”

One dashboard, wherever teams need answers.
TEAM & DEPARTMENT LEADS
The universal dashboard
One board for the whole department: each team filters to their slice — space, sprint, assignee, version — and leadership flips to the cross-team view. Everyone reads from the same numbers, nobody waits for their own dashboard to be built.
TEAM LEADS · ENGINEERING · PMO
Team health & workload
See story points, estimates, time spent and other numeric metrics across teams and sprints — filter the same dashboard to isolate workloads, bottlenecks and where plans are drifting, while course-correcting is still cheap.
PMOS · DEPARTMENT LEADS · LEADERSHIP
Cross-team & portfolio reporting
Give leadership one view across teams, projects and spaces — then filter by initiative, owner, status or department without rebuilding the dashboard for every audience. Same-named fields aggregate as one, so portfolio numbers roll up cleanly.
TEAM LEADS · PROJECT MANAGERS
Oversight with thresholds
Quick Work Item Count gadgets with multiple alert thresholds, and bar charts that compare teams at a glance — trouble is visible before it's escalated.
JIRA ADMINS · CONSULTANTS
Multi-controller builds
Advanced dashboards run several controllers at once — one for space and assignee, one for sprint and version, one for priority. Comprehensive filtering, still on one board.
ITSM · SERVICE OPERATIONS
Service operations at a glance
Filter shared dashboards by service, priority, queue or team, and watch where work is building up — SLA pressure visible at a glance, without another dashboard per service group.
Ready to give every team its own view?
Fewer dashboards. Clearer answers.
Teams consolidate their team- and role-specific boards into universal dashboards that everyone filters for themselves — and the sprawl reverses.
Up to 75%
fewer dashboards
“Highly recommended. Solves a huge amount of problems of having numerous dashboards and them being overcrowded with gadgets, now we have really flexible reporting.”

Before you build
Can I filter a whole Jira dashboard at once?
Yes — that's the core of the app. The Quick Controller gadget holds your filters (dropdowns, buttons, input fields), and every Quick Gadget on the dashboard refilters together with one click.
Can I sum story points on a Jira dashboard?
Yes. Statistics, chart and table gadgets aggregate story points, time estimates and any Jira number field — including row and column totals in two-dimensional tables — without exporting to a spreadsheet.
Can one dashboard serve multiple teams?
That's the intended shape: build one universal dashboard and let each team filter it to their space, sprint or assignee. Selections persist per user, so everyone keeps their own view of the same board.
Can I use JQL in the filters?
Yes — advanced JQL filters are built directly on the Quick Controller, alongside the point-and-click filter fields.
Does it work across projects and space types?
Yes. Fields with matching names are treated as one field, so statistics aggregate across spaces — including mixed team-managed and company-managed projects.
Do the filters work on native Jira gadgets?
The Quick Controller drives Quick Filters' own gadget set — charts, tables, statistics, counts and more. Native Jira gadgets don't respond to it, so universal dashboards are built from Quick Gadgets, which cover the native set's jobs and the aggregation native gadgets can't do.
Does Quick Filters support Jira Data Center?
No — Quick Filters is built for Jira Cloud and runs on Cloud only, including Atlassian Government Cloud.
