By default, FTE is grouped by highest parent issues. Pull requests not linked to an issue are excluded.

The focus percentage is calculated as:

(filtered FTE within timeframe) / (total filtered FTE within timeframe) * 100

Show focus on initiatives

To group all initiative work into their respective initiatives, enable the "Group by initiative" checkbox.

Additionally, you can further filter only initiative work using the initiative filter.

Note that when the initiative filter is in use, without enabling "Group by initiative", the work will be grouped by the highest parent issues belonging to the selected initiatives.

Show unlinked pull requests

To show data on unlinked pull requests, enable the "Include unlinked PRs" checkbox.
