The Jira Sheets page provides a spreadsheet-style view of Jira issues, allowing administrators to manage work items in bulk, analyze project data, and optimize storage usage.
It is especially useful for cleaning up unnecessary issues and large attachments that consume storage in your Atlassian instance.

Dates (created / updated)
This format allows quick scanning and large-scale management of issues.
Filters
To help narrow down results, multiple filters are available:
-
Project filter : Filters issues based on the selected Jira project

Assignee filter : Shows issues assigned to a specific user
-
Status filter : Filters issues by their current workflow state
