Line report is another data visualization method where data points are connected by straight lines. 

Two types of line reports can be created using the add-on: 

- **Simple Line Report** - The axis act as input for the data - eg.  a report of count of issues created each month
- **Segmented Line Report** - This helps to add aspects to a simple line report.  Eg. - a report of count of issues created each month, segmented by the type of issues.

Data to be used for the line reports can be further filtered using custom filters, JQL, Jira filters among others.

This article explains how to create line reports using the designer interface and provides a few examples.
