How to create view showing Kanban tasks created or updated over range of time? (e.g.: week month)

[Phylum]

I want to create a view (be it in Kanban, Confluence etc.) that will highlight all of the activities performed the Kanban over a specific range (e.g.: day, week, month, quarter etc.) including: 

• Creation of new Initiatives, Epics, Tasks, Subtasks
• Closure (e.g.: Done, Cancelled) of existing Initiatives, Epics, Tasks, Subtasks
• Comments to existing Initiatives, Epics, Tasks, Subtasks
  • This should show the actual comments

Is there a way to do something like that within the Atlassian ecosystem?

Hello @Phylum 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The first two are simple.

Using the issue search capability in Jira you can create and save a filter that selects issues based on the date they were created using:

created > -1w

There are a variety of relative options like the above "minus 1 week". You can find them all here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-fields/#Created

The same can be used with the Resolved date to find issues closed/resolved since a relative date in the past.

Add to the filter criteria that check the issue type field

issuetype in (Initiative, Epic, Task, Subtask)

For more information on creating filters refer to this documentation:

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

And this free training:

You can present the information in a Jira Dashboard as a list or as counts. There are a variety of native dashboard gadgets available. For more information refer to this documentation:

Jira does not natively provide a method to show a list of the comments associated with the issues retrieved by a filter. That would require a third party product.
