  • Oldest Raised - The linked issue with the oldest recorded due date

  • Next Due - The linked issue with the next closest due date to the time the JQL was queried

  • Most Received - The Project, Epic, Fix Version or Sprint with the highest number of recorded issue links lodged against them

  • Most Raised - The Project, Epic, Fix Version or Sprint with the highest number of recorded issue links lodged on other issues

  • Upcoming Dependencies - A bar chart, split by Project, Epic, Fix Vesion or Sprint, that shows all upcoming issue links based on their due date
