Report Builder Cloud 7.15 Release Notes

A new Report Builder, in fact.

This time, in addition to fixing numerous bugs and improving performance, we’ve completely redesigned the visuals — reducing the number of steps required to generate a finished report.

It is now intuitive, much like an email client or note-taking app.

Report templates require almost no configuration and default to the last opened Jira project. You can also open reports in a new tab. And much more!

Full list of changes:

Always-visible Reports & Templates sidebar

• Reports and Templates list is now always visible on the left side
• Selected report opens on the right without hiding the list
• Sidebar can be minimized and auto-expanded on hover (like Jira)
• When opening a report in a new tab/window, the sidebar is minimized by default

Tabs with smart counters

• Dedicated tabs: My, Shared, Templates
