Display Settings & Export
Control how the report looks and export your data for further analysis or sharing.
Display Settings
Time in Status has no separate Display Options tab. The settings that shape the report live in the Report Settings tab; the view toggle and export sit on the gadget's own toolbar.
Report Settings tab
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Issue date field | The Jira date field used to filter issues - Created, Updated, Resolved, or Due. An issue is included only if that field falls inside the period |
| Period | Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, or Between dates |
| Date range | The exact from-date and to-date, active when Period is Between dates |
| Schedule | Which Work Schedule the Business time formats measure against |

Interpreting the Results
Finding Bottlenecks
Open Average Time and sort by time descending. The top row is your biggest bottleneck.
| What You See | What It Means | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| "In Review" averaging 3+ days | Reviews are not happening frequently enough | Schedule daily review slots |
| "QA" averaging 5+ days | QA capacity is too low relative to developer output | Add QA resource or reduce WIP |
| "Waiting for Customer" averaging 10+ days | Follow-up is not happening | Add SLA reminders or escalation rules |
| "To Do" averaging 7+ days | Work is queued longer than it takes to complete | Review prioritization process |
Spotting Rework
Open Transition Count. Issues with counts > 2 on "In Review" or "QA" are bouncing back and forth - a sign of incomplete work or unclear acceptance criteria.
SLA Tracking
Open Status Entrance Date and export as CSV. Combine with your SLA targets in a spreadsheet to flag issues that have been in a status longer than your policy allows.
Tip: Export the chart as PNG to include Jira process data in presentations or status emails without requiring stakeholders to log into Jira.
