Custom Labels Report

Custom Labels Report

If you've created Jira custom fields for your custom labels and want to generate reports based on those labels, this configuration can help you achieve that. If you want to create a report for specific values or sets of values from your custom field and display them separately, standard Jira reporting won't support this.

Step 1: Filter the issues in the Data Source using the available standard options + your custom JQL. Create separate data sources for every label you want to visualize on the same chart. You can copy the first created data source and then edit it to fit your needs.

Step 2: Choose metric from the metric field menu, in our case it is ‘Number of issues’.

Step 3: Display data ‘by Data Source’.

Step 4: (Optional) Use the ‘Stack By’ option to add more detail to your report, e.g., Stack By Issue Type, Priority, Project, or any other Jira field or metric.

Step 5: Save the configuration.

In our sample case:

Data Source 1 for issues that contain both LabelX and LabelY

Data Source 2 for issues that contain any of the LabelX or LabelY

Data Source 3 to filter issues that contain LabelX and do not contain LabelY

Issues with more than one matching scenario are counted separately in each data segment.

However, if you want to display all issues containing your custom label, regardless of the label value, this basic report will show all values of the ‘Custom Field Name’. You can easily accomplish this with the Performance Objectives app, as well as with native Jira. Below are the settings and a bar chart visualization using our app:
