Setting up service desk reports
What makes up a service desk report
Each report consists of one or more series. A report series is composed of a predefined series (e.g. issues created), or a time metric series (e.g. time to resolution). For each series, you need to select a label and color to easily identify the data points in this series on your report, and define which issues should be counted with a JQL statement.
Create a new report
In your service desk project sidebar, select Reports. You will see a list of default reports for your service desk project. In this example, we'll create a report that shows the breakdown of all high priority issues based on the issue type:
- Select New report
- Choose a report name that you and your team will understand (e.g. High priority issues)
- Select Add a series and fill in the following details:
Series = Created (to display all created issues that fit the series criteria)
Label = IT Help issues
Color =
JQL filter = type = "IT Help" AND priority = Highest OR priority = High - Select Add and save your report.
- You can add additional series to capture high priority issues of other types (e.g. type = "Fault" or type = "Access")
