Jira dashboards on Confluence pages.
Asked by Kevin Paulus:

A user asked if Jira dashboards can be displayed on Confluence pages. -- I've not heard of this -- unless it would be embedded in the page source code.  

The following is the email he sent:
> *I thought the "gadgets" feature was merely a setting to be enabled rather than an add-on to be installed. I'm basically trying to implement gadgets from the Jira dashboards onto Confluence pages. If you know how to enable that, please let me know.*
>
> *Below is the error message I currently receive when attempting to paste the gadget link onto the page:*   
> *This gadget cannot be displayed on your dashboard. This could be due to a licensing problem or an application error. If you need this gadget, contact your administrator for assistance. Otherwise, you can remove it from your dashboard.*

body: There are Jira gadgets that can be added to Confluence pages. You can enable them one by one but I prefer the solution described at this link: [Subscribing to all of the application's gadgets](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/registering-external-gadgets-204050482.html#RegisteringExternalGadgets-Subscribingtoalloftheapplication'sgadgets)

If you're up for trying an add-on, this pain could be alleviated easily. I suggest our app [Dashboard Hub for Confluence - Reports \& Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224619/dashboard-hub-for-confluence-reports-charts?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) which makes it very easy to embed highly visual dashboards and gadgets into Confluence pages.

Hope it helps :)

body: Thank you Ivan, but the cost of that add-on was flat-out rejected as too high for its value added. The users will learn to live without.

We'd be happy to give you a year's free trial of Custom Charts for Confluence, and hopefully, that's a suitably long evaluation for you to prove some value.

Just in case I made you think Dashboard Hub for Confluence only has that added value, I would like to let you know that our app, apart from Confluence Macros, also offers many other powerful features such as:

* Creating Custom Charts with JQL, build your own charts.
* Reporting externally with ease, using Public Links.
* Pre-defined dashboard templates for [Agile](https://ronindashboards-staging.herokuapp.com/jira/shared/dashboard?boardToken=VTJGc2RHVmtYMS9jZUN6VmZXeVNHWWZHQll0U05WMkhGOWNvQitOVFZFbEpuOGszWDFCT2ZEWWdGdmR5Rm1EK05XTEo1K1VBSXNMa1VuKzltYnRFNzdaMUlwam1ZRG1CYStZZlZmR3I4VnhCVU8yTzJnb2h1cksrM0cwaFM1MThhVXg2dGVCNktHOS9UVWloV3EwU2VhSkc4ZElpMUtvSmlkNFVQVTdoeVlZcERBSVprR1hxM0FJM1lxSjN1dXpOaWZxVXJTcTNXM3l5K3NDTXUxTVo4NlpYSGVEeHovaUFXRkxINlE0dVZmQlZwTHAvY1hpTUkvK1hMT0pydHZ0NU1OVG9SMzIrZUtMSm0wb3AvdnFYRmc9PQ==), [ITSM](https://ronindashboards-staging.herokuapp.com/jira/shared/dashboard?boardToken=VTJGc2RHVmtYMTlPSkFubjJxZkJyRXh0MWk4T2wyaWdRMWl1Zk4yZGgrbnl5ZzBsSUJOc2ZkZG9CRFhybG43ZmxWa01vOTk4aGp2YlVyeHVzZlUyTVZTTXdES2lwa2U1aXY1aTF5YXFaVzM2aXRtdGZ2WTY2REZRanp5dHNuMm1SOHpndEpDc2dHVlNEU0VZbkNiSmxUUkJJV3piampFVkphbjljR3QwWEllbDRLd3NEcWxZeVJoZlNlL1REa1pCdUNGd0pFajlYZzNqMjhrN3NjOC9sV3BwY290WTl3MUxaRUFxaHcvaUJrbGFQV2EvRFdCZFJQUk5hZUNBcEMvZWh5VmE1RWFabU1LTmRnaDlENTYzT1E9PQ==), [DevOps](https://ronindashboards-staging.herokuapp.com/jira/shared/dashboard?boardToken=VTJGc2RHVmtYMTlOME9HaFBqdHI4UGpMQXdSTnhMNXo3d1FHdGxNNFZkWHZ4VlJQdE8zMldOOE9IZEo1dGc5cEozMUFMY0RhcFNIMTRUVUVOS0haT29UUUpubjBSK0pJMmVlZU1hZVM0VDhtYjR1b3EweEJhME5mYWpUbFlvREZNT3B2ZGtBMGV3M0Z2am1lUHlkdVRFQU01dm11YkphZmRjTkEvdnNwS3IzT1duYVphc0tMV3lNdFp2bjFkYnprdU1yYmw1SGFCb3NxUU1lMHMrQmhKYVdObFdoVk9tN2VoZWg3M2cyWXdHYkhLakt0eE1DbW85c3RpOVlVQTU5V3ZYcjRwdnNBaTZWeGVhYWFGbERLNlE9PQ==) teams, ... as well as +70 gadgets.
* Redirect users or groups to specific dashboards, with Filter Rules.
* Dashboards that become your Single Source of Truth. Use multi-project, multi-instance, and cross-team gadgets.

body: I have been able to add the JIRA gadget (aio-app-reports-gadget) to my External Gadgets Admin section.

Once I did that I can now add the new macro "(All-in-One Reports for JIRA)" listed into my Confluence page

I configured the options

- Saved Reports (I selected the title of my report)

- Gadget height (I set @ 500)

- Refresh Interval (15 minutes)

I then Saved that, and clicked Insert button, and then saved my Confluence page

After waiting about 30 minutes my page is Blank, except for a small cog icon in the bottom right. When i click that icon, there looks like a small dialog that might appear but I cannot see what I should do next to get my report to display in my page.
