Hi @Avinash Bhagawati _Appfire_

The ability to filter by custom fields using the dashboard. I created a filter that list all the issues and columns that I wanted displayed.

* I need it to function like Excel and have the ability to filter by certain criteria. I'm hoping that I do not need to create over 50+ filters in order to achieve this. 
* I would like have a report that displays if certain fields were not populated and display the date the issue was created (display a timeline of how long it took for the field to be populated)
* Currently, we do not need any statistics or trends

Any help or videos would be grateful.

Thanks,

DeAnne

Hi @DeAnne Russ ,

Can you elaborate on what kind of report you would like to generate? Do you have any specific statistics or trends you would like to look at?

Thanks,
