Customizing Reports

JetTime provides powerful customization options for creating and tailoring reports to meet your specific needs. These settings allow you to configure how data is displayed, organized, and analyzed. Whether using Worksheets or Table reports, customization helps you extract valuable insights efficiently.

Accessing Report Customization Settings

To customize a report:

Customization Options

JetTime offers two primary report view modes: Worksheet and Table. Customization settings are divided into general options (available in both modes) and Worksheet-specific options for enhanced flexibility.

General Customization Options (Applies to Both Views)

• View Mode: Choose between Worksheet (tabular plus grid layout) or Table (tabular layout) to define how the report data is visually structured.

• Time Grouping: Organize your data hierarchically by fields such as space, account, work item, custom fields, and more. With JetTime, you can create nested groupings to categorize data into logical, expandable sections for better organization and analysis. This flexibility allows you to drill down into the details while maintaining an overview of higher-level summaries.

  You can also group by any level of your Jira work item hierarchy — sub-task, story or task, epic, and every custom level above epic (initiative, portfolio, and beyond). Time and custom metrics logged deep in a tree roll up to the level you choose, not just the direct parent, and it works across all your spaces.

• Columns: Add or remove columns to control the details shown in the report, whether standard fields (e.g., spaces, users) or custom fields defined by your organization.

  Column data is taken from work item fields or work log fields, so it only appears for rows that represent a work item or a work log.

• Total Columns: Include totals for specific metrics, such as total hours worked, overall costs, or custom numeric metrics.

• Time Format: Choose how tracked time is presented in your report:

  • Human: 3h 45m
  • Time: 3:45
  • Minutes: 225
  • Hours: 3.75
  • Man-Days: 0.47

Additional Options for Worksheet View

Worksheet reports provide advanced options suited for more granular customizations:

• Worksheet Metric: Select the type of data to be displayed in the worksheet. Options include:
  • Time: Display tracked time using standard or custom time categories, such as Billable Time or Overtime.
  • Financial Data: Present costs and any financial custom data, derived from custom work log number fields with the currency format.
  • Custom Metrics: Display any other custom numeric field defined in your configuration, such as mileage or item quantity.
• Worksheet Breakdown: Define the date-based segmentation of your worksheet. For instance, break data down by:
  • Days: A daily overview of work log data.
  • Weeks: Weekly breakdowns for grouped insights.
  • Months: Summarized data over months for long-term tracking.
  • Quarters: High-level segmentation for quarterly reviews and assessments.

Filtering Options

JetTime provides robust filtering options to refine your reports and focus on specific data. Filters allow you to apply conditions based on:

• Custom and standard work item fields
• Work log fields
• Accounts or clients
• Saved Jira filters
• And more…

Filtering enables you to tailor reports for precise analysis. Learn more in the Using Filters in Reports article.

Saving Your Customizations

JetTime saves your customized settings for each report when you click the Save Report button. This ensures that your changes persist when you revisit or regenerate the report, eliminating the need to redo customizations repeatedly.
