What is the simple search gadget?
The simple search gadget is a Jira dashboard component that lets anyone search and filter your Custom Charts data without writing JQL. Drop it onto a dashboard, connect it to any chart or macro, and your team can pull the report they need by typing a few words. No query syntax, no filter manager, no waiting on an admin.
Streamline data discovery for any team
Reduce the time it takes to surface insights from Jira. Cut the gap between “I need this report” and “here’s the answer.”
Search without complex queries. Type the term, get the result – no JQL required.
Pinpoint the exact data set you’re looking for. Filter to the issues that matter and ignore everything else.
Search across the fields that matter most. Issue keys, summaries, assignees, custom fields – all in one place.
Benefits of the simple search gadget
Set up your reporting machine
Connect an interactive issue searcher to any Custom Charts gadget or macro and your team gets an instant report on the custom fields they care about. Build it once, share it with the whole dashboard.
Save time and improve efficiency
The simple search gadget collapses the work of sorting through large datasets into a single search bar. Time that used to disappear into manual filtering goes back into analysis.
Increase productivity
When data retrieval stops being the bottleneck, your team’s hours move to where they create value: interpretation, decisions, and action.
Improve decision-making
Real-time insights on accurate data mean fewer decisions made on stale dashboards or half-remembered numbers.

How simple search works
Enhanced productivity through efficient data access
Simple search streamlines access to the data your team needs to do the work in front of them. Instead of navigating complex reports or wading through results that don’t apply, people get to the relevant view immediately.
Full customization for your specific needs
Different roles ask different questions of the same data. Developers searching for an issue key, project managers tracking assigned work, and stakeholders pulling rollups all hit the same gadget with different inputs and get answers tailored to them.
Informed decision-making through accessibility
Easy access to accurate, current data is what informed decisions are built on. Simple search puts that data within reach of anyone with dashboard access – not just the JQL-fluent few.
Drive visibility forward with Custom Charts
The simple search gadget is one of dozens of features in Tempo Custom Charts for Jira. Trial Custom Charts and connect simple search to any chart on your dashboard – your team will be self-serving reports the same day.
