Use Time dimension based on Issue close time instead of Issue created

Hello,
I would like to set up a report where I aggregate SLA measures (% met, avg. time, etc) of issues. Each line represents a priority. On the page level I would like to use the Time dimension based on the Issue closed date.

However, I found the the Time dimension appears to be resticted to the Issue created date.

Is there a way to use the Issue closed date in the Time dimension?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

Welcome to our community!

Different measures work differently with the Time dimension. Issues created measures show on Time dimension by issue creation date, Issues resolved by resolution date, and Issues closed by closing date.

The documentation mentions how each measure works with the Time dimension: Jira Core measures and dimensions

Hi Janis,

thank you for taking a look into the matter.

As mentioned, I am looking for a solution to aggregate SLA measures, but I could not find a hint about how this affects the selected Time dimension. Would you care to elaborate?

I also went through the presentation by your coleague Roberts, and I understand that the Time dimension is context-sensitive depending on the used measures.

But still this does neither explain which times are applied when working with SLA measures (it is the creation date, apparently) nor how I can change that (I am interested in closing date).

Thanks again & kind regards,

Reinhard

Hi Reinhard,

Another documentation page is about how Jira Service Management (JSM) SLAs are imported into eazyBI. The main principle in this case is that measures are mapped to the Time dimension by the SLA cycle closing date: Jira Service Management custom fields

If you are not using JSM SLAs, the solution depends on how your SLAs are defined. There can be different approaches to that. It is possible to re-arrange measures to behave differently with the Time dimension.

Dear @janis.plume ,
I’m facing a similar problem. In your previous reply to this topic, you mention that “it is possible to re-arrange measures to behave differently with the Time dimension”. Could you elaborate on how that is possible? I personally use the following newly defined measure ([Measures].[Days in transition status], [Transition Status].[Status X]) and would like to make it so when interacting with the Time dimension, the data are grouped by e.g. month based on Created date (as opposed to the default in this case, which is Resolution date).
Thank you for taking the time to explain this to us.
Kind regards,
Dries
