Unable to get count of epics and bugs from the timesheet

[Abhinav]

So when I'm trying to make the monthly report for my team for the previous month from the Jira timesheet. But I'm unable to get aa count of epics and bugs raised by the team during that time period, I'm only able to view the no. of tasks and subtasks. How do i find the count? Please help

Hi @Abhinav,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I think you can get this by using some of the Jira dashboard gadgets configured with a filter that return the issues created last month:

created >= startOfMonth(-1) and created < startOfMonth()

For example, configuring the Issue statistics gadget with a filter like this and Statistic Type set to Issue Type, you will get the count in a view like this:

Similar to this, you can try also the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget or the Pie Chart gadget of Jira.

Also, if you happen to have our Great Gadgets app installed, you could also use the Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget for more advanced month-by-month statistic in form of tables, heat-map tables showing the counts, or charts showing trends.

Hey @Abhinav 

Welcome to Community! 

The native timesheet report is great for tracking logged hours, but it isn't designed to give you a simple count of all the different issue types created in a month.

If you are open to using a marketplace app, Timepiece - Time in Status for Jira is built to create exactly the kind of report you're looking for.

You can easily get a clear summary that shows the exact count of Epics, Bugs, Tasks, and any other 'issue type' your team created last month, week, or day. It gives you a simple table, just like this:

 

Even better, you can use our Scheduled Reports feature to automatically send this monthly report to you or your team. You just set it up once, and you'll get your report every month without any manual work.

You can check Timepiece - Time in Status for Jira out on the Atlassian Marketplace. It has 15+ different report types you may find helpful.

Hope my answer is helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

I have run into the same problem before, Jira’s timesheet view doesn’t really give you a clean count of epics or bugs by itself. A lot of people work around it by using JQL filters or adding a dashboard gadget, and some rely on add-ons like Worklogs, Time Tracking & Reports for more detailed breakdowns.

Hi @Abhinav,
The Jira Timesheet report is mainly focused on logged work, so it won’t directly show you the number of epics or bugs. For that type of breakdown, you’ll need a report that can group and count issues by issue type.
One option is using a Card Report (available in Report Hub - Custom Charts, Reports & Timesheets for Jira developed by our team): it lets you build quick visual counts of issues by type, status, assignee, or any other field. For example, you could create cards that show:

• Total Epics created in the selected period
• Total Bugs created in the selected period
• Tasks, Subtasks, or any other issue type you want

This way, you’ll get an at-a-glance count of epics and bugs alongside your other work logs, without manual filtering.
Hope this helps you streamline your monthly reporting!
