Viewing and Managing User Data

In the table, you'll find several columns providing key data:

• Issue column - shows the Issue summary and Issue Key. Clicking on this key will direct you to the issue's page in Jira.

• Users - shows the users who have viewed this issue

• Popular - indicate the popularity of this issue

• Total Views - total views for the issue

Improve your issue management with an array of filters:

• Search Issue: Quickly find a specific issue using the search bar.

• Select User: View issues that have been accessed by a particular user.

• Newest/Oldest Issues: Sort issues by their creation or last updated dates.

• Most/Less Views: Order issues based on the frequency of views.

• Most/Less Users: Sort issues by the number of unique viewers.

• Most/Less Popular: Rank issues by overall popularity.

• Popularity Filters: Identify issues that are most popular today, this month, or this week.

Popularity Indicators

The "Popularity" column employs a visual star rating system to convey the relative frequency of views or interactions for each listed issue within a project management or issue tracking application. Each row has a set of stars, with filled stars representing the extent of an issue's popularity. The more filled stars an issue has, the higher its popularity. Additionally, each row has a numerical value inside a circle adjacent to the stars, quantifying the popularity score. The highest number of filled stars and the highest numerical value in the column signify the most popular or most viewed issue. This column, in conjunction with the "Total views" column, offers a quick graphical and numerical reference for users to gauge which issues are receiving the most attention within the system.

The 'Team Views' page provides an at-a-glance look at user engagement within your team, displaying the viewing statistics of Jira issues by different user groups.
