Enterprise Insights - Backlog reports

[Michael Holian]

Has anyone had any success in creating a copy of the Jira Align Backlog screen into Analytics using EI? I'm not sure exactly how it is calculating Rank there and if it can be reproduced. We have a number of people we have to allocate licenses to because they must have access to the backlog view, and it isn't available to the Integrated User license.

The rankings for each issue are contained in the following tables.  Which one you use depends on which issue type and whether by Portfolio/Program or Program Increment/or not

Capability Rank Portfolio
Capability Rank Portfolio Program Increment
Capability Rank Program
Capability Rank Program Program Increment
Capability Rank Solution

Epic Rank Portfolio

I was looking for Rank in a particular PI. Many of the values come up blank. I am looking for Feature Rank, but the values for Rank Program Increment are null. The values for 'Rank Program' and 'Feature Program Rank' contain some values, but are also largely blank. None of them correspond to the Rank as shown.

Is there somethink wring with my data model?

[Allan Maxwell]

@Michael Holian The various ranks only get set when you change the rank of any issue in that backlog ...as I understand it.  For example, the Program Feature Rank for a PI will be null for all Features in that view until you change the ranking of any Feature in that PI backlog.  Once any change is made to the ranking of any Feature in that PI backlog, ALL Features in that PI backlog will have a rank.

If you add additional Features to that backlog, I believe they are unranked until --again --you move some Feature up or down the order backlog.

[Michael Holian]

OMG, what a feature that is!

[Michael Holian]

Allan, I do appreciate you pointing that out to me un them being unranked until you move something around.

so I moved items around (and back) to force the ranking. I see where the rank was set in the audit log, it says:

Program[Planning Increment] Rank: Jira Epic 6229 was moved from unranked to 1

but after that yesterday, the data is still not showing in my query I have queried every rank field and they are coming up blank.
