Core parts of the Pivot Report

What does Pivot Report consist of and why

Pivot Report has very few parts to cover but those are important ones. Let’s start at the top of the report and move all the way to the bottom.

Header

Pretty common. On the left, you have the name of the report or source (e.g. issue summary or board name the report is based on). On the right, you see action buttons.

Tabs

Tabs are the building blocks of the report. By default, you have one of each kind. And each one serves its purpose.

• Issue Structure
• Pivot
• Worklogs
• Capacity
• Warnings
