03Select a specific report
Click on the Burndown Chart or Velocity Report icon to open the graphic configuration pane for that chart type.
04Apply filters
Use the dropdown menus to choose your active board, target sprints, or estimation units so the chart reflects the right scope.

Use the header actions to export a CSV file of the data or embed the graphic onto a shared dashboard.
