Integrate Timepiece - Time in Status for Jira Data with eazyBI for Enhanced Reporting

Are you looking to elevate your data analysis within Jira? Integrating Timepiece (formerly Time in Status) with eazyBI can transform how you analyze and report on time-tracking metrics. This powerful combination offers deep insights and comprehensive reporting across your Jira data. 

Why Integrate Timepiece with eazyBI? 

eazyBI offers powerful reporting features across various platforms and, when integrated with Timepiece (formerly Time in Status), it provides a comprehensive view of your time-tracking metrics. This integration allows you to analyze time data alongside other important metrics from Jira. 

How to Integrate Timepiece Data 

Here’s a step-by-step guide to fetching Timepiece data and integrating it with eazyBI: 

1. Build Your API Call: Start by constructing a REST API call to fetch your Timepiece data. 

2. Configure eazyBI: In eazyBI, navigate to the Jira Apps menu, select eazyBI, and go to the Source Data tab. Add a new source application by choosing the REST API option. Enter your API URL and select GET as the request type. 

3. Manage Pagination: Configure pagination settings to handle data in chunks. Choose “Offset and limit parameter,” set “Offset parameter” to startIssueIndex, “Limit parameter” to pageSize, and “Limit value” to 100. 

4. Set Up Authentication: Obtain your Timepiece REST API token from the API Settings page. In eazyBI, select “HTTP Header” for authentication, then enter Authorization as the header name and TISJWT <your_api_token> as the header value. 

5. Define Content Parameters: Set the content type to CSV and specify that there is 1 header row in your data. 

6. Schedule Data Imports: Adjust the import schedule to fit your reporting needs. 

Next Steps 

Once configured, map your Timepiece data to eazyBI dimensions and measures, and start the import. You’ll now be equipped to leverage powerful analytics and reporting capabilities with your time-tracking data.
