Query Tile PRO
The problem
Dashboards are a great way to surface information — but the standard Query Tile can’t produce the tile you actually need. Its calculations, aggregations, and formatting options are too limited to show what matters.
And even if the standard tile could do what you need, one tile doesn’t make a dashboard. Building even a single team’s dashboard is painful — everything gets re-entered by hand, tile by tile. Now imagine trying to maintain and keep hundreds of dashboards consistent across an organization.
The result: dashboards that either fall short of what you need, or cost enormously to build and keep consistent at scale.
Why Query Tile PRO?
Query Tile PRO takes the standard Query Tile further, giving teams the advanced calculations, business-hours-aware time tracking, and dashboard-scale tools that Azure DevOps dashboards have been missing — without leaving Azure DevOps or standing up a separate BI tool.
We built Query Tile PRO around the same work item queries and dashboards you already use, adding the calculation depth and setup-time savings that come up again and again in real dashboards — SLA tracking, cross-team rollups, and delivery timelines.
- Query Tile PRO is freemium — core features are free for everyone without registration.
- Query Tile PRO is built for teams that need accurate, business-relevant metrics without leaving Azure DevOps for a BI tool.
📊 Build the tiles you actually need
Combine multiple queries, apply calculations at the result level, and turn results into charts or a Plan & Progress timeline — instead of settling for what a single basic tile can show.
🚦 Highlight what matters
Conditional formatting flags good, warning, and critical states with color. Trend shows an arrow/delta against a fixed or data-sourced target, so you see at a glance whether you're ahead, behind, or on track. Business Hours makes sure the time-based numbers feeding those signals are accurate in the first place.
⚡ Make a performant dashboard
Grouping lets one tile definition render multiple tiles — for every team, area, or category — while the dashboard loads and executes far fewer widgets and queries than building each one individually.
🌐 Scale, consistency and governance
Global Data Sources, stylesets, and functions let you define a query, a style, or a calculation once and apply it everywhere. A change log tracks who updated a shared setting and when, so nothing drifts silently across hundreds of dashboards.
How it works
Query Tile PRO is an Azure DevOps extension that runs as static web resources hosted by Microsoft (or your own server if you run on-prem), executing in your browser just like the Azure DevOps website.
- Your work item data never leaves your Azure DevOps organization. Anonymous telemetry may be collected to improve the product, but customer work item data is never transferred outside your organization.
- Uses your existing Azure DevOps identities and permissions — no separate identity or access model to manage.
- Runs inside your Azure DevOps organization, including fully isolated or air-gapped Azure DevOps Server environments.

What teams are saying
"Cool and useful tool. The widgets I've been looking for created in 15 minutes - thanks!"
"Great widget gives me the metrics I've been needing in my dashboards."
"Outstanding plug-in that MS should buy from the author and include as standard. Greatly enhances the ability to display useful information (rather than pure data) on a dashboard. Highly recommend to everyone."
