The Quick Pie Chart gadget displays statistical data from a filter grouped by a configurable field – in this example, by the Issue Type.

This Quick Gadget can show statistics for up to 5000 issues.

We built this gadget based on the model of Atlassian’s “Pie Chart”. You can follow the Atlassian documentation in order to configure the gadget.
