## Overview

Track the number of issues entering specific statuses or group statuses over selected dates. Identify trends, bottlenecks, or workflow shifts.

- **Workflow Insights:** See when issues enter key statuses or group statuses to track trends over time.
- **Bottleneck Detection:** Identify slowdowns or drop-offs in issue flow.
- **Flexible Visualization:** Choose different type of charts like multi line charts, stacked/grouped bar chars or stacked area charts.

## Configure your transitions

Configure status groups to track when issues **first or last enter selected statuses**. The report counts issues by date based on their first transition or last transition into each group, this option can be configured by status or status group. You can add multiple transition statuses per **Status group**.

Jira statuses can be entered multiple times during an issue's lifecycle. Use the first-last toggle to calculate time based on either the first or last transition into a status.

## Report type

### Report by date 

Track the number of issues entering specific statuses over selected dates (day, week, month, quarter, year). This allows teams to track and analyze status durations across the whole portfolio, seeing its evolution over time, plotted against a timeline.

Select any of the four **view types**: Multi-Line chart, Stacked Area chart, Stacked Bar chart, or Grouped. Each segment (for example, each line in the multi-line) represents one status transition.

## Configuration

### History to retrieve

To improve the precision of your report, you can trim the issue history. Thus, you can filter out historical data within a specified timeframe. This involves choosing both a "before" and "after" date to exclude data, ensuring that the time in status of relevant issues during that period is excluded from calculations.

### Format

You can display the time in five different formats: days, weeks, months, quarters, and years. 

### Show statistics
