App settings

This article introduces each section of the app settings.

Which settings can you modify?

Settings

When you click Settings, the Pivot Report Settings page opens on the General tab by default.

1. Settings > General: Use this tab to manage how worklogs and report sections appear.

   1. Time Zone: Control how worklogs are displayed in reports when they are entered from multiple time zones.

   2. Parent work item estimates: Define how the Completion Rate progress indicator is calculated.

   3. Slices and Progress: Determine whether slices affect progress indicators.

2. Settings > Permissions: Use this tab to control access to the app and its content.

   1. Users and user groups: Define who can access the app.

   2. Public reports restrictions: Control who can view public reports.

   3. Worklogs tab restrictions: Define who can access the Worklogs tab content.

3. Settings > Integration: Use this tab to manage integrations and visibility.

   1. Space Level Integration: Enable or disable the app’s features for spaces.

   2. Default Widget fields: Configure default widget indicators, columns, and levels in the work item view.

4. Settings > Custom Hierarchy: Use this tab to define a default hierarchy applied to all reports. This avoids the need to modify your work item hierarchy directly in Jira. You can still override this hierarchy within individual reports.

Other settings

1. Tempo Integration: Use this page to enable an integration with Tempo Timesheets.

2. Saved Reports: Use this page to transfer ownership, copy, archive, unarchive, or delete reports (individually or in bulk). You can also view all reports and update their settings.

3. Calendars: Use this page to define default and custom calendars.

How can you access app settings?

If you need to modify settings at the app level, follow these steps. You must either have Jira admin rights or ask someone who does to complete the process.

1. Open the Settings menu in Jira’s top navigation bar, by clicking on the gear icon.

2. From the dropdown, choose Marketplace apps.

3. Under Pivot Report, click Settings.

FAQ

Can you access app settings without opening Jira's settings?

Yes. In Jira Cloud, a Jira admin can open app settings directly from the sidebar without first opening Jira settings by following these steps:

1. In the Apps list from the Jira sidebar, select Pivot Reports.

2. Click the actions (•••) menu.

3. Select App settings.

If you are a regular user, follow the same steps. If App settings does not appear, your user does not have Jira admin permissions in the instance.

If Pivot Reports is missing from the list, you not have permission to use the app.

To request access, contact a Jira admin and ask them to enable the app, as explained in a related article.
