OBSS Apps - Historian Illustrasyon - Two Powerful Ways to View History 1-1

Two Powerful Ways to View History

Don't settle for a static list. Switch perspectives instantly to answer specific questions:

Work Item-Based View: See all changes across issues. Expand individual work items to review every update in chronological order. Perfect for deep-diving into the timeline of a specific task.

Field-Based View: Focus on the attributes that matter. Track the lifecycle of a specific field (e.g., "Status" or "Due Date") across multiple issues side-by-side. Ideal for spotting process bottlenecks and consistency issues.

OBSS Apps - Historian Illustrasyon - Precision Filtering & Search 1-1

Precision Filtering & Search

Pinpoint critical changes instantly without manual scrolling

JQL Integration: Use the JQL box to narrow your report to specific projects, issue types, or statuses.

Granular Field Filters: Isolate changes to specific standard or custom fields (e.g., "Story Points" or "Assignee").

User & Date Filters: Instantly see who made changes during a specific sprint, week, or custom date range.
