The Reports section in the main navigation provides a central space for to access and manage your reports, such as including the reports you have created and saved and those shared with you.

The app allows the sharing of saved reports. The owner/creator can share a report with other Jira users belonging to the same organization.
The Shared Reports tab lists all the reports that have been shared with the logged in user by other usersin the same organization
It also displays report details like category, last modified, published view, owner (the user who shared it) and actions of open, copy to Saved Reports and delete
The Category drop-down is updated with the category of the shared report, if it exists. The category drop-down allows to filter on specific types of reports.
If while sharing, the owner has allowed the logged in user to edit the report then
if the logged in user makes changes and saves the report, the changes made are visible to the owner as well as to others with whom the report is shared
if the logged in user makes changes and clicks ‘Save As’, the changes made are only visible to the logged in user
If while sharing, the owner has allowed the logged in user to edit the report and the logged in user publishes the report, the published view is also available to the owner
the logged in user though cannot remove the published view or add access permissions on the report; that can only be done by the owner
The icons under Actions are for opening the report, copying the shared report to logged in user’s ‘My Saved Reports’ and deleting the share (in that order)
