About custom ratios

Custom ratios are computed user-defined outputs that are used in rich filter gadgets. They are defined as ratios with a numerator and a denominator, which can be based on issue count or numeric or time-tracking fields. Optional JQL filtering conditions can filter the contributing issues for the numerator and/or the denominator. Custom ratios can thus be used to compute ratios of different values.

Below is an example of a *Rich Filter Simple Gauge* gadget that displays two gauges based on two custom ratios: *Completion rate* and *Work ratio*.

Custom ratios key attributes

The **Custom ratios** section of your rich filter lets you add new custom ratios and view existing ones and their configurations.

The key attributes of a custom ratio are:

| **Attribute** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Each custom ratio has a **Name** that must be unique among the custom ratios within the rich filter. |
| **Color** | The selected color will be used to display the ratio in some of the rich filter gadgets. |
| **Numerator Base value** | <span style="color: #172b4d">The value on which the numerator of your custom ratio is based is selected among Issue Count or numeric and time-tracking fields.</span><br>![Numerator Base value](media://de719aec-a551-4cea-8c39-02ee193b8de0) |
| **Numerator JQL** | <span style="color: #172b4d">You can optionally define a JQL query to filter the issues contributing to the custom ratio's numerator. Only the issues that satisfy this query will be considered when calculating the numerator.</span> |
| **Denominator Base value** | The value on which the denominator of your custom ratio is based. The numerator and the denominator can be based on the same field or on two different fields of the same type. The denominator can also be a constant (fixed value), which you enter when defining the custom ratio.<br>The available options for the **Denominator Base value** depend on the selected numerator base value:<br>> Macro (nested-table)<br>![Denominator Base value](media://8f297a0c-97b9-4e99-bcfa-d7af723160d7) |
| **Denominator JQL** | <span style="color: #172b4d">You can optionally define a JQL query to filter the issues which contribute to the denominator of the custom ratio. Only the issues which satisfy this query will be taken into account when calculating the denominator.</span> |
| **Display format** | Specifies the format used to display custom ratios in the rich filter gadgets. The available options are:<br>- Percentage – for example, if the value is 3/10, the gadget displays 30%
- Ratio – for example, if the value is 3/10, the gadget displays 0.3<br>If the *Ratio* option is selected, you have the possibility to further select how many decimals to display: none or exactly 3, 2 or 1 decimals.<br>![Display format](media://004d8df8-98a9-4d5f-b91b-fd96ded4cc53)<br>> ℹ️ Custom ratios are always displayed as percentages in gauge gadgets, independently of this setting. |

Use custom ratios in Rich Filter gadgets

Once defined, the custom ratios can be used in the rich filter gadgets that support them. Below, we provide the list of rich filter gadgets that can display custom ratios:

- The** Rich Filter Simple Gauge **gadget displays gauges based on three custom ratios: *Completion rate, Work ratio,* and *Highest priority ratio.*
