What reports do you have available?

Hi Jill, I've found that I have to print from my browser window rather than the actual Jira application. I use Chrome, so when I click on the ellipses next to the address bar there is an option to print. It works well, the pages are rendered as 81/2 by 11 without the reports overlapping to another page. -Scott

Hi Radha, Check to see if your project is a "software" project. If not you'll want to change it. There are several reports for software projects that are not available in the business type projects, including burndowns, release reports, etc. -Scott

Thanks Amanda, this is very helpful.

Ericka, I've just started setting up the Resource module so its a bit new to me as well; not sure if I will be using it for my current program. Maybe we can start a new discussion to explore it within the community?

Say, for instance, I click "Create Issue" and the default screen opens with the Issue Type populated as "Story." In this…

I'm experiencing a similar issue with displaying fields on the Create Issue Screen: I want to limit the fields that show on the Create Issue Screen based on the Issue Type selected. For example, if I'm entering a new Risk issue type I want the Risk Consequence and Risk Probability fields available. However, if I am…

Thanks Davin. Gliffy has a new product due to release in the Spring of 2018 called "Gliffy Project." It looks like that will have quite a few tools for creating project visuals. Gliffy Project

I've stumbled upon the Draw.io tool that gets me part way there...I see how to create the project diagrams I am using. Does anyone know if the shapes in the diagram can be created from issues in Jira and update Jira issues when links between them are drawn? -Scott

Thanks Victor, it does look like a bug.
