How to check daily activity per team member? If you have ever needed to monitor what changes each user has made to a particular issue, for some project, or for specific dates – keep on reading. Here you’ll find build-in and Marketplace solutions for Jira to see user activity. 

 

1. How to view Jira user activity on a single issue level

One way to view user activity in Jira is to go to a specific issue and look at the "Activity" tab → Show History. This tab shows a timeline of all the actions that have been taken on the issue, including comments, work logs, and changes to the issue's status or assignee. You can use the filters on the right-hand side to sort the newest or oldest changes first.

2. Jira activity stream gadget

Another way to view user activity in Jira is to use the "Activity Stream" gadget. This gadget can be added to your Jira dashboard and shows a stream of activity from across all the projects and issues that you have access to. You can see activity for a single user or the whole team.

  1. Filter the activity stream by project, issue type, date, or user (account ID)
  2. Customize your activities by choosing the ones relevant to you.
