Pull request report

You can view summaries of your GitHub pull requests using customizable report templates.

To open GitHub pull request reports, click DevOps > PR Report.

You can also click DevOps > Pull Requests, click More actions for pull requests, and click Open as Tab.

The tab is titled PR Report. Opening it from the DevOps menu starts on the Report Gallery; opening the activity as a tab starts on the List report.

The Report Gallery is the only place reports are chosen. The toolbar keeps the filter on the left, and the centre holds a single Close Report button while a report is open. There is no view dropdown, so nothing can disagree with the gallery about which report you are looking at.

The Report Gallery presents every available report as a card with a miniature preview, the report’s name, and a short description of what it shows.

GitHub pull request reports are grouped into Layouts, Milestone, Date, Assignment, and Overview.

  • Click a card to switch the tab to that report.
  • Move between cards with the arrow keys, and press Enter or Space to open the focused report.
  • Reports the provider does not support are not listed.
  • Reports that summarize the whole result set remain unavailable until the current result is complete. An unavailable report remains visible and shows the reason on its card. The gallery itself remains available because it describes reports rather than summarizing data.

Click Close Report to come back to the gallery. The button appears only while a report is open, because there is nothing to close while the gallery is already showing. To move from one report to another, close the current one and pick the next from the gallery.

What report cards show

The Cards and Board reports show the author’s avatar and name. The name matters because an avatar without an image falls back to an unexplained initial.

For automated checks, these cards show a named CI passed, CI failed, or CI pending badge. The denser List, Grid, Timeline, and Assignments reports use a status dot instead. Hover over the dot to read its state.

Filter pull requests

The pull request report displays all open pull requests in a repository by default. Use the filter control to select a filter template. Click Show or hide filters to open or close the filter panel. You can filter pull requests with multiple filters at a time. Click Switch to Advanced Query to use GitHub search syntax to apply filters.
