JIRA Dashboards
Gadgets are currently available only on Jira Server.
To add a BigPicture gadget to a Dashboard, go to your JIRA Dashboard and click the Add Gadget button. Locate the BigPicture gadget on the list.
Gantt, Risk and Program List are currently available. Once inserted, you will need to select the desired Program and automatic refresh intervals for Gantt and Risks. Gantt also has a few additional options regarding the view settings.

| Program List | |||
| Gantt | |||
| Risk matrix |
The gadgets can be moved around, deleted and maximized like any other JIRA gadget, by using drag and drop and clicking on the small arrow icon in their upper-right corners.

Other JIRA plugins
A common question is "can BigPcture read/display/sync data from <insert plugin name>". The answer is rather simple.
If the other plugin uses one of the supported JIRA custom field types (includes Scriptrunner), then you can add it as a column to our Gantt. Once added, you will be able to group and sort by values in this column. Such fields will always be green (non-JIRA).
We are also working on robust integration with Deiser ProFields. Anything other than columns and ProFields is currently not available (Tempo, Structure, etc.).
