Analyzing Tasks Distribution

The following topic describes how to use distribution reports to analyze task distribution.

To analyze task distribution:
  1. Click the Current Task -> Reports... menu item.
  2. Create a new Distribution report.
  3. Enter the report parameters.
  4. Click the Generate Report button.

To calculate the total work time required to solve tasks for each submitter and the category of the task use the following report:

Property 
Value 
Type 
Distribution 
Group by 
Category 
Subgroup by 
Submitter 
Value 
Actual Time 
Function 
Sum 

The system will also calculate the total time expenditure from each category and each submitter as well as the total time spent on all the tasks. 

To generate the report, the system finds subtasks of the current task which satisfy the filter condition. After that, the data is grouped based on the Group by and the Subgroup by properties and for each group the value of the target function is calculated.

To calculate the distribution of the number of tasks based on category and status use the following report:

Property 
Value 
Type 
Distribution 
Group by 
Category 
Subgroup by 
Status 
Value 
Task Quantity 
Function 
Sum 

To find out how many tasks are created and who created them on specific days of the week: 

1. Create the following Task / Custom Field Value script

Calendar ca = task.getSubmitdate();
ca.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(sc.getTimezone()));
int day = ca.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
switch (day){
     case Calendar.SUNDAY: return "Sunday";
     case Calendar.MONDAY: return "Monday";
     case Calendar.TUESDAY: return "Tuesday";
     case Calendar.WEDNESDAY: return "Wednesday";
     case Calendar.THURSDAY: return "Thursday";
     case Calendar.FRIDAY: return "Friday";
     case Calendar.SATURDAY: return "Saturday";
}
return null;

2. Create the calculated custom field submitdate of type List, based on this script. The list of possible element values must correspond to the list of possible results of the formula calculation (Sunday, Monday, etc). This calculated field returns the name of the day of the week when the task was created. 

3. Create the following report:

Property 
Value 
Type 
Distribution 
Group by 
submitdate 
Subgroup by 
Submitter 
Value 
Task Quantity 
Function 
Sum
