Historian - History Explorer for Jira Cloud

Export

The Export feature in Historian - History Explorer for Jira allows you to download the current report data as a file for use in external tools, spreadsheets, or audit reports. The exported file reflects the issues, fields, filters, and grouping currently applied to the report, so you always get exactly what you see on screen.

How to Export

To download the report, click the Export menu located at the top-right corner of the report page. You can select either XLSX or CSV as the export format. Once the format is selected, the file will be automatically downloaded to your computer.

XLSX format is recommended when you plan to open the file in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, as it preserves column formatting and structure.

CSV format is recommended when you need to import the data into another tool or process it programmatically, as it produces a plain text file with comma-separated values.

Export Permissions

Only users with the necessary export permissions can see the Export button. If the button is not visible in the toolbar, it means your Jira administrator has restricted export access for your account. To request access, contact your Jira administrator.

Export permissions are configured separately from general app access and can be restricted to specific user groups. (See Permissions)
