Is it possible to draw stats across multiple projects at once?

[Taylor Wood]

Hi folks, is there a simple or efficient way in which to draw out statistics across multiple projects or would you have to individually go into each project to draw statistics on progress etc?

In particular I'm interested in drawing the statistics of bugs (type of issues) across multiple projects, so how many open bugs remain in each project.

Hi Taylor, welcome to the community.

Jira tends to do a lot of reporting based on "filters", which are saved filters, with results that are refreshed when used.  The reports are then an extract and calculation based on the current results.

So, for your stats, I would start by running a search for "issuetype = bug", then save it as a filter.

You'll be able to reuse this in lots of places, but to just fix your first example report, I would create a "dashboard" to put gadgets on and then add one for "filter statistics".  The config for that one should be

• Filter: Your saved filter
• Resolved issues: Exclude (this matches your "open bugs" while allowing you to continue to use the saved filter in other gadgets)
• Statistic: Project

This should give you a list of all projects with the number of open bugs in each one.
