Anatomy of a Table Chart Report
Let’s examine this type of report through an example.
Example: A user has created a project-based (Mobile Dev) report showing the duration each assignee spent on an issue.
1. Issue information – This part shows the Issue, its Summary, Status, Reporter, Assignee, and Priority. All the important information regarding the issue is listed here.
2. Total Time Spent (On Summary Table) – This shows the total time spent on the issues by all assignees. By default, it goes from the most time spent to the lowest, showing you the tasks that took the most time on the first page. If you want to see the issues that were resolved the most quickly on the first page, click the Sorting icon.
3-4. Columns (Main, Sub) – This is where the real action happens. Depending on your selection, you’ll see the duration data in a multi-dimensional format that highlights the most important information.
(Main): The Main selection is shown at the top. In this case, it’s Status.
(Sub): The Sub selection is shown below the Main selection. In this case, it’s Assignee.
5. Time Spent (On Column) – This shows the total time spent on the issue by the assignee. You can view the duration here, or you can go to Layout Settings to change its position.
6. Time Spent (In Row) – Here, you can see the sum of all durations based on each category.
You can decide where you want the Time Spent data to appear based on your preferences. To do that, select the locations you want to see the data for under Layout Settings > Display Total Time Spent.
Creating a Table Chart Report
Go to Apps from the header menu, then click Enhancer Plugin for Jira.
From the sidebar, click Time Tracking Report.
Select the report type as Table Chart.
Pick the calendar you want to use in the report.
Select Filter Type to limit the scope of your issues by utilizing either Project, Issue Filters, Sprint, or JQL.
To choose which information will be displayed on the report, pick Columns (Main, Sub). The Main category you pick will be displayed at the top of the columns, and the components of the Sub category will be listed below them. Accordingly, you can display Assignee, Reporter, and Status data.
⭐ While selecting, you can also use the chevrons to switch the places of the categories.
To better understand the (Main, Sub) groups and how they affect the content and design of your report, check out the image below. The Main group (in this case, Status) is always shown at the top of the table, while the Sub group (in this case, Assignee) is listed below it.
Click Generate to create your Time Tracking Report.
Tada! 🎉 Your report should look something like this:
Configure the Report Layout
After creating the report, click Layout Settings to configure how it looks.
You need to make the Columns (Main, Sub) selection for Column Settings options to appear.
1. Issue Settings
These refer to the fixed and issue-related parts of your report. Here, you can select which issue fields to enable or disable, and where you want the Total Time Spent summary to appear in the report (On Column, In Row, On Summary Table).
To better understand the Total Time Spent positions, check out the table below:
Position | |
|---|---|
On Summary Table |  |
On Column |  |
In Row |  |
For Total Time Spent (In Row) to appear, you need to have fewer than 1,000 issues. Otherwise, you’ll see the On Column and On Summary Table summaries only (unless you make the decision to not to).
2. Column Settings
Here you can customize the data that appear in the columns. Select how elements such as Assignees will be displayed (with avatars or not), as well as which ones to include in the report. Based on your Columns: (Main, Sub) selection, you can create assignee, status, and reporter groups. You can make different configurations for different parts within the Main selection and Sub selection categories.
For example, you could group different statuses in the Main selection depending on your use case. Check out an example of how to do that below:
Example: A user wants to group TO DO, SELECTED FOR DEVELOPMENT, BACKLOG, and REQUESTED statuses under TO DO (under Main selection), and create a special team called DEV TEAM for the users in the development team (under Sub selection). Take a look at how the UI changes when groups are present:
