The **Issue List** is the proof behind the numbers on your chart. It shows the exact issues that make up metrics, so you can validate the data behind trends and anomalies.

In the **WIP Aging chart**, there are two separate [Breakdowns](https://brokenbuild.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WIP/pages/4527423578) and corresponding Issue lists:

1️⃣ For items displayed on the chart - currently in progress:

2️⃣ For historical completed issues used as benchmarks for highlights - their scope can be configured in the [Highlights](https://brokenbuild.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WIP/pages/4799398012) menu:

In the **WIP Run chart**, there is only one Breakdown and Issue list, which include all issues within the chart scope:

You can click **Find issues** from any Breakdown segment to filter the Issue List to show only the relevant issues:

- **Components** – functional areas or subsystems of your product.
- **Fix Version ** – releases linked to the issue.
- **Priority / Severity / Risk level** – useful for triage and compliance.
- **Epic link / Parent** – see how individual items roll up into larger initiatives.
- **Labels / Tags** – flexible way to categorize issues.

 Experiment with different options to surface the information most valuable for your reporting needs.
