This article explains how to create a report using a button on the Manage Worklogs Reports page, where you can also view all reports accessible to your account.
Why should you use this page?
You can use the Manage Worklogs Reports page to create reports. This method is useful when you need full control over a report’s source during creation, compared to modifying an existing report and saving it as a copy.
You can also use this page to find reports you have permission to view and identify reports that share the same source or name.

What can you define when creating a report?
After clicking Create Report on the Manage Worklogs Reports page, you can configure the following fields on the Create Worklogs Report page:

Description: Add a description explaining the report’s purpose and intended audience.
-
Project or Filter: Select the report source as a single project, multiple projects, or a saved filter.

-
Owner: Automatically set to the user who creates the report.
-
Admins: Define users who can manage sharing settings, update the report source, and modify other configurations. See the separate article for details on the difference between a report admin and a Jira admin.

Public: Define whether the report is accessible to all logged-in Jira users. Report sharing options are described in a separate article.
-
User Groups: Define groups that can access the report.
-
Users: Define individual users who can access the report.
Access to all users’ worklogs is also controlled at the app level, as explained in a related article.
How do you add users or groups to a report?
While creating a report, you can grant access to report admins, users, or user groups by following these steps:
-
On the Create Worklogs Report page, in the Sharing section, click the Admins, Users, or User Groups field to open the search dialog.
-
Use this dialogue to select for user or groups. The Admins and Users fields list all active users, while the User Groups field lists all available groups in your Jira instance.
-
To remove an admin, user, or group, click the X icon next to their name.
-
After you finish making changes on the Create Worklogs Report page, click Save.
Will you need to save the created report?
When you create a new report from the Manage Worklogs Reports page, it is automatically saved with a unique ID. Any subsequent changes are saved automatically.

In contrast, Jira for Data Center does not support displaying Worklogs Report in a project's navigation.
-
In addition, due to limitations in third-party app integration, Jira Service Management (JSM) for Server and Data Center does not support displaying Worklogs Report in a project's navigation.
As result, use Jira top navigation bar, to access the app.
To avoid opening the app each time you need to find a report, create a shortcut that keeps the report in sync with a board or project by following the steps in a related article.
