To search in Jira for relevant information, users need to do different queries.

The *Jira Query Language* (*JQL*) was built to create powerful searches based on clauses (field + operator + value) and return a list of issues. These searches can be saved as *[filters](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/save-your-search-as-a-filter/)* and reused later.

The Box BQL Custom Charts is a gadget that allows you to display the results of a JQL query or an existing filter, as a table or a chart.

To represent the results of your JQL query, in the `View Type` field, select one of the available visual metaphors, as shown in the Chart types table.
