The Issues tab in the Time Summary Report provides a detailed view of time logged per Jira issue, helping you analyze where effort is spent across all projects and how efficiently work progresses at the issue level.
This view is ideal for project managers and team leads who want to drill down into specific tasks, track logged hours, and compare estimates against actuals.
1. Main Filters
At the top, you can refine the report using several key filters:
-
Projects: Select one or more Jira projects to include.
-
Time Range: Choose a date range (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom) to define which worklogs are included.
-
Issue Filters (optional): You can further narrow the view by issue type, assignee, or status.
Tip: Adjusting filters dynamically updates the chart and issue data in real time.
2. Summary Chart
Below the filters, you’ll find a high-level visualization showing the total time spent and billable ratio across all selected issues:
-
Total Spent Hours: The total logged time for all issues in the selected filters.
-
Billable vs Non-Billable Hours: A circular chart representing the proportion of billable vs non-billable work.
This gives you an instant overview of how team time is distributed across issues and how much of it contributes to billable work.
