Export

Export lets you download report table results from the current grid view as CSV or XLSX for sharing, auditing, and offline analysis.

Export files contain the report result for the selected scope, report type, columns, and time settings.

When to use this

Use export when you need to share a report outside Jira, attach evidence to an audit, combine results with another dataset, or review data in a spreadsheet.

Before you begin

Run the report and confirm the table output.
Apply any filters, status options, or field selections needed for the export.
Decide whether CSV or XLSX is better for the recipient.

Steps

Run a report.
Review the table output.
Choose Export CSV or Export XLSX.
Wait for the export to finish.
Open the downloaded file and verify the columns.

Simulated export menu with CSV and XLSX options — Export options create files from the current report configuration.

Result

The exported file includes issue fields, calculated report columns, and selected report metadata where applicable.

Notes

Exports may include:

Issue key and summary
Project and issue type
Current status and assignee
Selected issue fields
Dynamic status, assignee, count, date, or transition columns
Duration values based on current time settings

CSV export creates a lightweight comma-separated file and escapes spreadsheet-risky leading characters so exported text values are safer to open in spreadsheet tools.

XLSX export creates a workbook with visible grid columns in the current order, current exported rows, column widths, a frozen header row, and Jira links where exported values can include hyperlinks.

Large reports can take longer because the app must read the selected issue data, calculate changelog-based metrics, and prepare the export file. Export is not unlimited; large reports depend on Jira API behavior, app limits, browser memory, and the Forge runtime environment.

Troubleshooting

If export is slow, reduce the report scope or export fewer columns. If rows are missing, check active grid filters, report filters, Work item range, Trim History, source query, and Jira permissions. If columns are missing, open Columns Manager and confirm the column is visible.
