Issue type reports

[Julie Campbell]

I would like to create a report to view how many of a single issue type we have in a sprint, in a quarter, in a year. We have created a custom issue type called "production error" to track bugs that make it into production. 

I am fairly new to Jira and I am struggling to find a report that would meet this criteria. Hoping that the community can help!

Thank you.

Hi @Julie Campbell,

The magic is not so much in the gadget you use, but in the filter you create to retrieve the data first. Just a few examples to get you going.

If you would like to build a report showing the issues created this year and view those by issue type, you would first have to create a filter that searches for the issues created (or updated, resolved, ...) this year:

created >= StartOfYear()

 Save the filter and use it as the source for a pie chart gadget, sliced by e.g. issue type.

By changing the perspective, you could create a filter that retrieves e.g only your production errors:

issuetype = "production error"

With e.g. the recently created chart you can display the number of issues created and resolved per time period. You can select different options there:

A last example is the two dimensional issue statistics gadget That gadget allows you to create a sort of pivot table report, where you could use your sprints as one dimension and e.g. project or issue type as the other, showing you the number of issues by sprint and something else at the same time.

Hope this helps!
