Understanding Metrics Dashboards in LinearB

Use the date picker at the top of the dashboard to define the reporting timeframe.

• Essentials plans – Up to 6 months of historical data.
• Enterprise plans – Up to 3 years of historical data.

Metrics dashboards support multiple filtering dimensions to help you focus on the most relevant data.

Filter by

• People – View metrics by individual contributors or members.
• Repository – Scope metrics to one or more Git repositories.

Depending on the selected filter type, you can further refine results using:

• Teams – Select one or more teams (or All Teams).
• Members – Filter by specific contributors.
• PR labels – Narrow results to pull requests matching selected labels.

Click any data point or inflection point in a chart to drill into the repositories or contributors driving that change.

This helps identify sudden shifts in throughput, review activity, or AI usage.

Use the Share button in the top-right corner of the dashboard to:

• Copy dashboard link – Share the current dashboard configuration.
• Export as CSV – Download raw metrics data.
• Export as PNG – Generate a visual snapshot of the dashboard.
