Adding charts to your reports

Intelligent Reports allows you to add any type of chart available in Microsoft Word including line charts, pie charts, area charts, bar graphs e.t.c. to your reports and have that chart filled in with your JIRA data.

Once you have chosen your chart, add it to your Microsoft Word report template document and format it as you require using Microsoft Word.

This example shows a pie chart which displays the hours in each epic for the chosen sprint.

You can follow the instructions for the type of chart that best matches the type of chart you are adding to your report:

• Time based charts
  Time based charts, such as burn down and burn up charts need to be filled in with dates and values in one or more data series.

• Calculated charts
  Calculated charts allow you to use Intelligent Reports calculations to fill in the data for your chart. The simplest way to understand the calculated charts is to remember that you are specifying the rows and columns in the spreadsheet for your chart. Microsoft Word then interprets this data to draw the chart. You can click here for instructions on how to add a calculated chart to your report.
