Hi all,
I’ve created a Calculated Custom integer field named “Number of Failures” that I am importing as a measure. Now in the Measures, I see a set of measures named "Number of Failures created’, "Number of Failures due’, etc. and not just “Number of Failures”. Can someone explain why eazybi does this?
For readability in my report, I’d much rather have a measure just named “Number of Failures” vs “Number of Failures created” which could be confusing. Is there a good option to give me a measure that just has the name of my custom field?
Thanks!
Hi toomanyedwards,
Welcome to the eazyBI community!
In eazyBI for Jira, each measure has to be mapped to a Time dimension in an exact way. Therefore, for each numeric custom field measure, eazyBI creates a set of measures with different dates so that user can choose by which date to group this measure with Time dimension in the report (either by issue creation date or by issue closed date or another date). In the same way there is no general measure “Issues”, but there are “Issues created”, “Issues resolved”, “Issues closed” and others. The name of the custom field measure is longer and might look confusing at first, but it is done so as to provide useful information.
You can create a new report-specific or user-defined measure that, for example, contains formula [Measures].[Number of Failures created] and give it any name that is not taken.
For example:
Also - if “Number of Failures” is imported as a property, there should be a property field “Issue Number of Failures” that would be displayed on the issue level (if issue level is in the rows).
I hope this helps.
Kindly,
Ilze
