Hierarchical Reports

Overview

The Hierarchical Reports module provides a structured and comprehensive overview of all work items within a selected project. Work items are grouped by sprint and visualized hierarchically based on their parent-child relationships, making this an essential view for sprint reviews, time analysis, and backlog audits.

Accessing the Hierarchical Reports

1. Click Reports in the main navigation panel.
2. Select Hierarchical from the list of available reports.

Navigation & Controls

The report is controlled by a set of powerful tools located at the top of the page.

1. Project Selector Located at the top-right, this dropdown lets you choose the project for which you want to view the report. Once selected, the report automatically loads all related sprints and their associated work items.

2. Sprint Selector This dropdown dynamically updates to list only the sprints associated with the selected project. Use it to filter the table and focus on a single sprint. If no sprint is selected, the report displays all sprints.

3. Export Button Clicking this button opens a modal allowing you to export the currently visible report data in either Excel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv) format.

Report Table Layout

Each row in the table represents a work item, with sub-tasks visually indented under their parents.

Column	Description
Project	Displays the name of the selected project.
Sprint	Acts as a group header, organizing work items under their respective sprints.
Type	The type of work item (e.g., Story, Task, Bug), configured in admin settings.
Key	The unique work item identifier (e.g., D-MS-1). Clickable to open a side detail view.
Title	The summary of the work item. Sub-tasks are indented to show hierarchy.
Parent Key	Shows the key of the parent item, if applicable.
Story Points	The estimation points assigned directly to this work item.
∑ Story Points	The aggregated story points, including this item and all of its nested children.
Logged Time (Secs)	The raw time logged on this specific item, displayed in seconds.
Logged Time	The same logged time shown in a readable format (e.g., 1h, 22h 30m).
∑ Logged Time	The cumulative time logged for this item and all of its nested children.

The "Unassigned" Work Items Group

A special "Unassigned" group automatically appears at the bottom of the report if any work items in the project are not assigned to a sprint.

Key Points:

• This group helps teams easily identify items in the backlog or orphaned tasks.
• It is always visible in the default view (when no specific sprint is selected from the filter).

Triage Your Backlog

Use the Unassigned group to identify and triage unplanned work. It's the perfect place to find items that need to be prepared for assignment in a future sprint.

Interactive Features

• Clickable Work Item Keys: Clicking any Key opens a side panel with the complete details for that item, including its description, status, time logs, attachments, and linked tasks.
• Parent-Child Nesting: The visual indentation of the Title column clearly reflects the task hierarchy.
• Aggregated Metrics: The ∑ Story Points and ∑ Logged Time columns automatically roll up totals into parent rows, giving you an accurate summary of effort for entire epics or stories.

Use Cases

• Sprint Planning & Retrospectives: Review what was planned vs. what was completed.
• Backlog Auditing: Quickly identify all unassigned or orphaned work items.
• Estimation vs. Execution: Compare Story Points against Logged Time to refine future estimates.
• Effort Tracking: Get a precise, sprint-level breakdown of where team effort is being spent.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Export detailed reports for compliance, client billing, or progress updates.
