This report type allows you to examine the changes made over time to the issues that are reported, utilizing the filters you set in the report editor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is one special field selection for the report.\u00a0 There is a\u00a0History\u00a0<\/strong>button within the Buttons field section.\u00a0 When you place this on the report it appears at the top of each issue and allows the user to look at the entire history of the issue.<\/p>\n

There are three alternative presentations for the output, selected with the list of report options.<\/p>\n

Column Style<\/h3>\n

You select the columns to display on the report output along with the filters.<\/p>\n

Typically you will want to see the Issue number and the date last modified fields for the issues selected by the report filters, so these are pre-selected for you.\u00a0 Of course, you may add any other fields.<\/p>\n

There is one report option not shared with other report types, or the other history report display options.\u00a0 This is the option to Show Changes Only<\/strong>.\u00a0 When this option is checked, rows on the report that have identical results will be elided.\u00a0 This will occur when there are multiple updates to the issue that affected fields that are not selected for presentation on the report output.\u00a0 Note this is a global selection for all the fields selected on the report.\u00a0 If you want to show the changes on a field-by-field selection basis, right-click on the red icon by the selected field and use the option titled Show Changes for this Field<\/strong> and to not use the global Show Changes Only<\/strong> report option.<\/p>\n

The above selection will produce report output that looks similar to the following:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see, you can trace the audit trail of the issue selected by the filters, from its creation to the current time.<\/p>\n

Abbreviated Style<\/h3>\n

With this option, you do not select the fields to display, you only select the query filters.\u00a0 All fields that changed values from one update to the next are displayed on the report output,\u00a0 Field values that are part of the issue, but not altered with each update are not displayed on the output.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note that there is an option with this display output type to suppress the notification history.\u00a0 This can often be a large part of the output and may not be valuable information for the report.<\/p>\n

There is also an option with this display output type to suppress the attachment history.<\/p>\n

If the report filters include issues that have been deleted, the report will still include the history for these issues and will show the point in time when the issues were deleted.<\/p>\n

Abbreviated\u00a0 Side-by-Side Style<\/h3>\n

Again, with this option, you do not select the fields to display, you only select the query filters. Each issue update results in an entry on the history report, with the old value and the new value being placed side-by-side on the report output.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note that there is an option with this display output type to suppress the notification history.\u00a0 This can often be a large part of the output and may not be valuable information for the report.<\/p>\n

There is also an option with this display output type to suppress the attachment history.<\/p>\n

Another option is available when you are reporting history across related issues.\u00a0 This is titled\u00a0Use parent creation time<\/strong>.\u00a0 When you select this option, only issues created after the parent issue will be shown on the report output.\u00a0 This is available as some child issues may have been created prior to the parent issue and may not be relevant to the report.<\/p>\n

If the report filters include issues that have been deleted, the report will still include the history for these issues and will show the point in time when the issues were deleted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
