Reporting for Jira

[Olaf S]

Hi,

I am using the free version of Jira and would like to be able to create a weekly report on open sprint tasks, how many tasks were completed, how many are in QA...

I've looked on YouTube and in one video there was an option for Reporting on the left of the tool but I don't see that.

Thanks,

Olaf

You can write a jql for active sprint, sprint=open sprint, status in (Open, in-progress, Testing, etc) use this saved jql in Dashboard by creating 2 dimensional or Pie chart

Hello @Olaf S 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Reports is an option that shows in the navigation panel on the left when you are viewing an agile board. Not that is not a free-form, build your own report engine. It contains pre-built reports with some limited options for change parameters.

You can use issue searching to get each of the things you mentioned. For more information about searching for issues refer to:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-issues-in-jira/

You can get a list of issues in open sprints where the issues themselves are not complete:

sprint in openSprints() and statusCategory != Done

You can find out how many tasks were completed since the beginning of the current week with this JQL:

status changed to (comma separated list of your "done" statuses) after startOfWeek() and statusCategory=Done

I'm not sure what you mean by "in QA" but if "QA" is a Status that you assign to issues then you can find out how many of them are currently in that status with this JQL:

status="QA"

You can refine all these statements my adding criteria for the Projects of interest.

If you create each of these queries you can save them and then set up weekly Subscriptions for each one to get the information automatically emailed to yourself each week. Refer to this documentation for more information:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/save-your-search-as-a-filter/

Getting such reports for past weeks requires different JQL statements.

Thank you!  I'll definitely use those filters. 

But for the canned reports I still don't see the option.  Am I in the wrong place?

In that left side panel click on Project Settings.

Then look for an option named Features and click that.

Then in the bigger pane on the right look for an option named Reports and make sure it is enabled.

Thank you!
