Linear units, metrics, and properties

This page describes the available units, metrics, and properties when creating a chart for a Jira data source. See also these related guides:

Units

Units are the numbers shown in the charts. Unit can be any of these:

Issue

The default unit is Issue i.e. a chart displays the count of issues and sub-issues.

Estimates

Linear's default estimation field to describe the size of an issue.

Time in state

Timing metrics (reaction, lead, cycle time). These are calculated for all issues and sub-issues.

All units share these characteristics:

  • They can be filtered by any property of an issue

  • They can be summarized as sum, average, or median

  • They can be formatted as numbers, monetary units, or time units


Metrics

Metrics are the calculations performed on the selected unit.

Total

Shows the total amount of the selected unit in the selected data sources.

Not started

Work not started according to the workflow settings.

Not started & In progress

Created (within date range)

Issues by creation date (issue creation date from the Linear API).

Completed (within date range)

Issues by Date completed. The last date & time when the issue was completed (moved to a state mapped as done in the workflow settings).

By Due date

Issues by Due date. Includes the items that have a Due date within the selected date range (regardless of their workflow state).

Reaction time (avg, completed items)

Time before the work was started. The average time spent in the states mapped as Not started in the workflow settings.

Reaction time (sum, completed items)

Time before the work was started. The sum of time spent in the states mapped as Not started in the workflow settings.

Time from start to completion. The average time spent in the states mapped as In progress in the workflow settings.

Cycle time (sum, completed items)
