Common filter for multiple Jira charts on a single Confluence page
Asked by David Matzner:

I have a Jira issue list and multiple charts on a single Confluence page. Is there a way to have a common filter or do I need to update each page element?

Thanks

DM

Maybe our app that is [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) will come in handy for your case?

The app is available for Confluence Cloud and allows you to work with manually created tables and dynamically changing macros such as Jira Issues, Jira Charts, Page Properties Report, etc.

You'll be able to use the most general JQL inside your Jira Issues macro and filter, aggregate and visualize your data via our macros with a friendly UI from a page view mode.

[Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+Jira+Issues) are several examples of the Jira dashboards created right in Confluence with the help of our macros. The screenshots were taken for Confluence Server, but the only difference for Cloud would be the necessity to use the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro to nest several macros due to the new editor limitations. Other steps and settings would be the same.

You may also [book a live demo](https://calendly.com/nparamonova/table-filter-and-charts-demo?month=2021-09) from our team - we'll be glad to show you different use cases.

Unfortunately, this is not a feature out of the box in jira and confluence. You will have to look in the marketplace for different reporting options.

What I would recommend, is the rich filters plugin that works for both Jira and Confluence gadgets. It's easy to use, uses JQL and if you care about having filters, it's the way to go.

Good Luck

body: Thanks that looks like a good solution for others, but I am on Confluence Cloud and the addon is not Cloud ready. Also it's a good lead to other potential solutions.

body: oh, it's too bad. I didn't realize it wasn't available in cloud.

Cheers.

body: I want to have multiple charts on one Confluence page that use a common filter - so that when I change the filter it changes for all of the charts with a single filter edit.

I've already mentioned our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Seems like it could cover the case:

* use the Jira Issues macro instead of the Jira Chart macro, enter the JQL query, for example, "project = ABC"
* reuse this macro as many times as you need with the help of the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros
* build the required pivot tables and charts using our [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) and [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macros (these will be a replacement of your multiple Jira Chart macros)
* if you need to change the JQL query, you go to the source Jira Issues macro and type in "project = DEF"
* all the pivot tables and charts will be rebuilt accordingly to the new JQL query (because we reused the Jira Issues macro several times and didn't need to update the JQL query more than once)

body: Hi [@David Matzner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4305771) Did you mean you are using different chart macros in single confluence page ? in that case, you can use common filter in each of them and just change the display options in the macro (eg: Chart by Assignee, Status, Priority and so on)
