Reporting Use Cases

The Created At field from the Comments dataset is the fundamental timestamp that marks the exact moment a discussion or piece of feedback was recorded. It is the primary tool for analyzing the volume, timing, and velocity of communication within your team.

  • Filtering by Time: You can easily create reports that focus on communication within a specific timeframe.

    • Daily Activity Digest: To see all comments from the last day, you can use a filter like Created At in the previous 24 hours.

    • Retrospective Analysis: To review all discussions that happened during a specific sprint, you might filter where Created At within the previous 14 days.

  • Reporting on Communication Volume: Using this field as a dimension is the most common way to visualize communication trends over time.

    • Discussion Velocity: A line or column chart with a dimension like YEAR_MONTH(created_at) and a COUNT() metric will show the total number of comments made each month. A rising trend indicates increased collaboration (or perhaps less clear initial requirements), while a decline might signal a drop in engagement.
