Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
How to use reports for Assets
Reports for Assets in Jira Service Management gives you a dashboard of insights into your assets and configuration data. With a variety of pre-configured charts, you can get a visual representation of your objects, their associated issues and the projects they belong to, as well as how long each is in use. This can help you make more informed decisions, improve your service delivery, and optimize your asset management.
There may be a delay of at least 30 minutes for the data from Assets to be reflected in the dashboard.
You need to be a Jira admin in order to access this view-only report.
To access the Assets dashboard:
Navigate to your project > Assets
Select Reports at the top of the page
The dashboard is divided into 5 main sections. Each section contains charts that visualize data according to the filters selected. This guide will explain how to use each filter and the charts they control, and provide some suggested use cases for each section.
Filters for all reports
These filters are the top-level filters that are then applied to all the other charts in the dashboard - e.g. the IT Department’s schema that stores all the team's information about laptops, software, servers etc.
Objects by attribute
This section provides insights into how many objects possess certain attributes.
A manager could use this section and the charts within to find out how many laptops (objects) are in a particular location and have the status attribute of in use.
The objects by attribute section contains the following charts:
Number of objects by attribute - groups the results to show the aggregated number of all the attribute values based on the selected attribute type.
