Reports

Is there a way in Jira to pull a custom report? I'm looking for issues and tasks that are currently open. I would also like to see the number of epics that are open.

Hi @kheckaman1 - Welcome!

You can use a filter like: Project = ABC and statusCategory != Done

This will get you all issues that are not Done (i.e. open).

Yes, you can get that information easily. The simplest way is just by searching. Go to Filters -> Advanced Issue Search (or https://<your instance>.atlassian.net/issues). You can use the Basic search to select criteria from dropdowns, or use JQL (Jira Query Language.)

A simple JQL query would look something like this:

issuetype in (Story, Task) and status = Open

Where you would update the In clause to include the actual issue types you want to include. You can save the search as a filter and use that in a dashboard if you want different ways of visualizing the information; pie charts, for example.

And if you want to see a visual representation of this filter then simply use a dashboard and various gadgets referencing the filter
