Advanced reporting for Linear

Screenful provides instant charts and reports for Linear data, and the tools to configure them according to your board structure. The metrics you can track with Screenful include:

  • Issues and issue properties: assignees, projects, cycles, etc.

  • Completed work: progress reporting for a selected time period (velocity).

  • Due dates and overdue work

  • Timing metrics - how long it took to complete an issue?

  • And much more ⬇️

You can also track Advanced metrics not available in Linear's native reporting. All metrics mentioned in this guide are available in all Screenful pricing tiers.

Once you have authorized access to the Linear API, you’ll be shown a list of teams in your account.

Authorize screenful access

Once you have selected one or more teams for importing, you will be shown a suggested workflow mapping. The columns on your board are automatically mapped to either Not started, In progress, or Done. This information is used when calculating the Timing metrics.

Capture workflow settings

If the suggested mapping looks correct, you can accept it by clicking Looks good to me. You can make changes by clicking Adjust mapping. The boxes become editable, and you can drag & drop items between them.

Your setup is now complete. You can navigate to the Insights tab to see the automatically generated charts and metrics. For more instructions, see the Setup Guide.
