Dialog for Creating/Editing a Pivot Report

Pivot tables are a data processing technique that enables users to arrange and rearrange (or “pivot”) statistics in order to highlight useful information.

You can switch to the pivot view from any displayed timesheet by using the view selection dropdown at the top right of the report page. You can also create a new pivot report from the “Reports” page by selecting Pivot in the view field.

Dialog for creating/editing a pivot report

To create a pivot report, you must specify at least two of the following fields:

  • Rows

  • Columns

  • Values

While creating the pivot report, you can also add filters by projects, users, or teams that were previously created.

 

By default, pivot report data is visualized as a table. However, it can also be visualized in different formats such as:

  • Column

  • Area

  • Line

  • Stacked Bar

  • And others

 

After creating the report, you can adjust the configuration of the Pivot Report, including Rows, Columns, and Values. The list of available options depends on the custom fields selected in the Values field in the creation dialog.

Issue custom fields are only available for grouping in Rows, Columns, or Values if they are selected in the Others field at this stage. You can always reopen this dialog by clicking the “Adjust” button and selecting the desired custom fields.

You can configure the fields for Rows, Columns, and Values using the Field List Configuration Dialog while the pivot report is open.

Using drag and drop:

  • Fields can be added to the desired section

  • Fields can be removed

  • The order of fields can be changed

The pivot report can be exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV using the export button available on the report.

If you can’t find an issue field on the above “Field configuration dialog”, you can click on “Adjust” button and select the custom fields for “Others” option.

Conditional Formatting

Conditional Formatting Settings

The pivot report includes a conditional formatting feature that allows you to emphasize specific data cells.

You can highlight selected data by modifying:

  • Font

  • Text color

  • Cell color

 

For example, in a report displaying total worklogs in hours, you may want to highlight entries with less than 3 hours. This can be configured by selecting the desired value and format from the Conditional Formatting Settings dialog.
