Generating Reports in Jira

Ready to assess your User Story coverage and ensure a smooth release? Here are two convenient approaches to generate your report in Jira:

Option 1: Advanced Reporting with JXL Plugin (Recommended)

Benefits:

• Clear Structure: Visualize task hierarchy and relationships for easy understanding.

• Flexible Formatting: Customize the report layout and content to your preference.

• User-Friendly Features: Leverage additional plugin functionalities for efficient report creation.

Steps:

1. Navigate: Locate your project in Jira and open the "Sheets" section. Create a new Sheet.

2. Craft Your Query: Utilize a customized JQL query to retrieve relevant data (example provided). Remember to adjust the query based on your specific needs. project = "SLDEV" AND cf[10900] IS NOT EMPTY and updated > startOfDay(-30d) ( cf[10900] = customized field: Modified Coverage )

3. Visualize Hierarchy: Define or edit the hierarchy to display stories and subtasks (recommended for quick scanning).

4. Customize and Create: Select desired columns, adjust settings, and click "Create" to generate your report.

5. Edit with Ease: Modify the report anytime using the "Edit" button.

Option 2: Basic Reporting with Jira Filters

Considerations:

• Limited Formatting: Offers basic table presentation without advanced formatting options.

• No Hierarchy Visualization: Task relationships and hierarchy might not be clearly visible.

Steps:

1. Access Filters: Locate the "Filters" page in your relevant project and create a new Filter.

   
2. Build Your Query: Employ the JQL option to construct a customized query (similar to step 2 in Option 1).

   
3. Configure and Generate: Set up desired columns, adjust other settings, and click "Create" to generate your report.

4. Edit as Needed: Utilize the "Edit" button for future modifications.
