Reopened Distribution

This report shows the number of issues that transitioned from a resolved state to an unresolved state within a specified time frame.

This report is designed specifically to track issues that fail to pass quality assurance tests, but can also be used to track issues that are reopened for other reasons.

Prerequisites

To use this report, check the projects you want to track for the following criteria:

Each project uses the same custom field to store a state type.
At least one value in the state-type field is flagged with the Resolved property.

Settings

Use the following settings to configure this report.

Setting	Description
Report name	Assigns the report a name.
Projects	Filters the report to display issues from specific projects. The list is limited to projects in which you have the Read Project Basic permission.
Issue filter	Filters the report to display issues that are returned by the specified query. The input field provides the same syntax and auto-completion options that are available in the search box.
Period	Filters the report to show only issues that transitioned from a resolved state to an unresolved state within the selected time frame.
Automatically Recalculate	Configures periodic recalculation for your report. If you select Never, automatic recalculation is disabled. The report can only be recalculated manually. If you select any of the other options, YouTrack checks if the selected time period has elapsed when you open the report. If yes, the report is recalculated. You can manually recalculate reports with automatic recalculation enabled at any time.
State	Sets which field is analyzed for changes in value. The built-in filter looks for changes from any value that is flagged with the Resolved property to a value that is not flagged as resolved. The selection is limited to fields that store a `state` type.
Group by	Determines which custom field or issue attribute is used to group values on the report. For example, you can group issues by assignee or by project.
Sort order	Sorts the values in the attribute or custom field that is used for the Group by setting. By default, items are sorted by count in descending order. This shows the value that has the highest distribution at the top of the list. The natural sort order corresponds to the order in which values appear in the set of values for the selected field or attribute. For example, the natural sort order for the updated attribute is chronological by date. The natural sort order for the updater attribute is alphabetical by full name.
Can view and use	Sets the visibility for the report. By default, the report is visible to its owner only. To share the report with other users, select a group or project team from the list.
Can edit	Determines who has permission to view and edit the report settings. To let other users update the report settings, select a group or project team from the list.
