When you are a member of the Backlog Space/Organization or participating in a project, you will be able to receive reports via email.
There are 2 kinds of reports:
- Daily Project Reports
- Weekly Reports (for the Space)
Besides showing you the reports, we will also guide you on:
- How to enable email reports

Daily Project Report
The Daily Project Report is sent daily. It’s a useful reminder about the issues due today and overdue issues in the project.
The due and overdue issues are listed with the issue subject, status and assignee. For more information about the issue, simply click on the issue key hyperlink to go to the issue’s webpage in Backlog.
Weekly Report (for the Space)
The Weekly Report is sent every Monday and it’s a report that encompasses the Backlog Space and all its projects.
There are 3 sections in the report:
- Issues and milestones that are due soon in the coming week.
- Which member received the most stars last week
- Your personal report of assigned issues completed and stars awarded to you.
