Report generation with Issue History for Jira [Table View]
- Yuliia Borivets
You can arrange the report the way you need with the settings below.
1. Filter Issues
Select one of the following options to get the list of issues for:
Assignee
Filter
Label
Project
Reporter
Sprint
“Updated by” menu with single + multi-select users
Also, you can filter issues by a user/users that have made updates.
Select one user:
Or multiple users:
To sort the changelog, click on a column header.
2. Choose the Date Range
Use the functionality of the Date range to customize report timeframes.
You can select the time period you want to get the report based on:
It can be a given period (today, yesterday, last week, this month, etc.), or you can select/enter the custom time duration (Start&End dates).
3. Column Manager
You can add custom and standard fields to the grid using the ‘Columns’ menu to manipulate output data.
Date, Issue Key, and Updated by fields are chosen by default. The others (e.g., Status, Assignee, Description, etc.) you can add according to your needs.
Active fields (1) show which issue fields are included in the report and all changes for them.
Updated fields (2) are all other issue fields you can include in the table and get changes for them.
The number in the right corner shows how many changes were made to each field.
Drag and drop each field to set their layout order in the table. The upper field appears first after the predefined columns.
Changes grouped for each issue
Click on any column header to sort it, and you will get the task's changes assembled in groups.
Click the drop-down arrow to expand/collapse the updates.
If you want to return sorting only by date, exclude all other options from the sorting (e.g., issue key, status, priority, etc.)

Issue history report
After the previous settings, you will receive a report with the changes that have been made in the issues you need to see.
The main report grid displays the data according to the default and custom columns you selected before in the column manager.
User activity report
There are two options to view the activity of the particular user.
Use the “Updated by” menu, type in the name, or select the person you need from the drop-down list.
Choose the user directly from the table. Hover the cursor over a specific person’s name, and you will see a user card. Click “Show user activity”.
Changes grouping
Follow the use cases if you’d like to select just one or several issues.
