The organizational charts can be displayed on your Jira dashboards by using the Organizational Chart gadget. For the organizational chart to be generated, you must have a user custom field of type User Picker representing the hierarchical relationship between the Jira users. Also, the fields must be properly set on the user's Advanced Profile page. See "Adding a user custom field" above for how to add such field.
Assuming that you already have a dashboard created and at least one User Picker custom field defined and set on the user Advanced Profile page, follow these steps to display the organizational chart:
-
Go to your Jira dashboard and click Add gadget
-
Search for the org chart gadget and add it
-
Enter the gadget settings as described in the table below
