Here is brief description of the report configuration options:

Clicking on the Change Filter or Project link will allow you to select another project or select a filter from your list of favourite filters, popular filters, or a filter returned by searching all available filters.
Project or Filter Description	An optional configuration field which provides the ability to add a description of the selected project or filter to the chart.

Once you have made all of your configuration choices and have clicked the Next button, the report will generate.

You can always change your filter criteria by clicking on the Configure button.

Use the chart options located on the right side of the chart to show additional information.

Here is a brief explanation of the different lines that can be displayed on the chart and how they are generated.

Colour	Name	Description
	Remaining Work	Displays the total number of hours that are remaining.
	Logged Work	Displays the total number of hours that have been logged.
	Original Estimate	Displays the total original estimates on all issues. This value increases when new issues have been added or when the original estimate of an issue has been increased. Likewise, this value decreases when the original estimate of an issue has been decreased.
	Daily Team Effort	Displays the number of hours logged that day. This value is reset to 0 at the start of each day.
	Required Daily Burndown	Displays the number of hours that need to be logged that day to be on target by the report end date. This is equal to the remaining work at the start of the day divided by the number of remaining workdays. A workday is any day between Monday thru Friday.
	Estimate Accuracy	Displays how well issues are being estimated. This line will be flat if issues are being estimated correctly. The estimate accuracy line will trend downwards if issues are being overestimated and will trend upwards if issues are being underestimated. This value is equal to the sum of logged work and remaining work.
	Guideline	Displays the ideal burndown. This value is calculated using the remaining work and the number of workdays. A workday is any day between Monday thru Friday.
