Managing reports Follow
You can create reports on your project's issues. Available report formats are Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and PDF document. A spreadsheet is handy if you want to export report data to a third-party application.
For each report, you can either configure a scheduled email delivery (for example, once a week) or send it to specified recipients manually whenever needed.
