Tracking work hours in Jira brings many benefits, but it's intuitive reports that make the data meaningful at a glance. Therefore, if you are a Scrum Master, Product Owner or Support Manager and want to get more out of your Jira data than boring tables, Report Builder is the tool for you.
Report Builder is a powerful Jira reporting plug-in that allows you to turn comprehensive data into structured reports within seconds. This provides you with the best conditions to ensure well-informed decision-making based on a clear roadmap and successfully lead you and your team to the goal.
Report Builder lets you visualize results quickly and easily with pre-built report templates. If you’re a coding fan, the app gives you plenty of options to let your creativity run wild with HTML and JavaScript.
In direct comparison with other Jira reporting plug-ins, Report Builder primarily convinces with these features:
Jira reports with real-time data
No prior knowledge for report templates required
Advanced filtering options with JQL
Create reports from scratch in code yourself
Have individual report created on demand
When you click on Report Builder, you will land on this welcome page, which shows you all the reports you have already created. If you haven’t made any reports yet, click Create report.
Here you will see ready-to-use report templates sorted by the topics: Time Management, Resource Management and Project Management.
In the gallery, you can switch to the overall view of the reports with one click. This is where you’ll find all the tags you can use to filter specifically for the reports that are relevant to you.
When you’re in the full gallery view, notice the different border colors around the reports. The ones outlined in yellow are our Quick Reports and are designed for easy and fast report creation in just a few clicks.
You can create the other reports (Scripted Reports) individually and customize data and filters according to your needs in HTML code or with JavaScript.
Now it’s your turn!
Create your own report using our custom report building guide. Or discover how to use our Swiss Army Knife of reports, the Universal Report.
After setting the filters according to your requirements, you can export any Report Builder report to CSV, Excel or PDF:
After you have created a report, it will be visible in the gallery under “My Reports”. If you would rather not keep your informative result to yourself, you can:
generate a link to share it
mark the report as public
select people, groups or projects and
set viewing or editing permissions
Shared reports can be found below in the “Shared reports” tab.
