Page History

Sometimes, you may want to export the contents of multiple issues without repeating some sections of the template. For instance, you may want to create a Cover page or display some information only at the end of the document.
In order to provide this functionality, the Xporter for JIRA plugin supports a special notation. That notation allows defining which sections of the template will be rendered for each issue, and which sections will be static. The notation is demonstrated below:

You can even push this functionality to another level of control by applying filters to the iterations. This can be useful if you want to place the issues of a specific type (ex: Bug) in a section of the template and the issues of another type (ex: Story) in another section. The notation is demonstrated below:

Using a XLSX template however, please take note that to define an iteration you need to merge columns and define the "for" inside of those merged cells. The same thing should be made to define the end of the iteration. All content between the for definition and the end will be duplicated for each iteration
