2. Choose the Date Range

Use the functionality of the Date range to customize report timeframes.

You can select the time period you want to get the report based on:

It can be a given period (today, yesterday, last week, this month, etc.), or you can select/enter the custom time duration (Start&End dates).

3. Column Manager

You can add custom and standard fields to the grid using the ‘Columns’ menu to manipulate output data.

Date, Work Item Key, and Updated by fields are chosen by default. You can add others (e.g., Status, Assignee, Description, etc.) according to your needs.

Active fields (1) show which work item fields are included in the report and all changes for them.

Updated fields (2) are all other work item fields you can include in the table and get changes for them.

The number in the right corner shows how many changes were made to each field.

Empty State Troubleshooter

When no changes are found in your report, it usually means the filter conditions don’t match any data. That’s where the Empty State Troubleshooter comes in.

This built-in visual assistant automatically detects problems with your filters and guides you with helpful suggestions on how to adjust them. Whether it's a date range, user selection, or field mismatch, Troubleshooter will point out the problem so you can quickly get back to viewing your work item history.
