Configure the layout of the work item

What is the layout of a work item?

Choosing which fields appear on your team's work items, and which of those are most important, can help your team get more done in less time. If there are a few fields you fill out for every bug, for example, it makes sense that those fields are always visible and probably somewhere towards the top of the work item If you're a project administrator, you can set up the work item for your project in the way that works best for your team.

Layout settings are for individual projects. You can't share layout settings between projects right now.

In the layout of the work item, you’ll see a list of fields in a few different categories: description fields, context fields, hide when empty fields, and hidden fields. Here’s how fields in each of these categories appear when viewing a work item’s details:

1. Description fields: Since this section is the first place users look when they open a work item, your most important fields should be configured here.

2. Field tabs: If the layout's screen is configured with more than one tab, they'll show up here.

3. コンテキスト フィールド: 設定の [空の場合は非表示] 行よりも上のフィールドは、[詳細] グループのここに表示されます。各ユーザーは使いやすいように、最も重要なコンテキスト フィールドを [ピン留めされているフィールド] グループにピン留めできます。

4. その他のフィールド: [空の場合は非表示] の下にあるフィールドに値がない場合は、このグループに配置されます。値がある場合は [詳細] グループに表示されます。

5. Configure layout of the work item: Click Configure to change the position and visibility of fields in the work item. Learn more about configuring the field layout in the work item.

Fields in the layout of a work item

You can drag and drop fields into different sections when you configure the layout of a work item.

説明フィールド

This section usually appears on the left side of the work item (or at the top in a single-column layout). Since this is the first place users look when they open a work item, put your most important fields here. If your layout's screen is configured with more than one tab, the other tabs will appear in this section. Only Jira admins can configure tabs (project admins can't change the order of the fields displayed in the tab). Learn more about configuring a screen's tabs and fields.

コンテキスト フィールド

This section normally appears down the right side of the work item (or at the bottom in a single-column layout) in the Details and More fields groups. Context fields usually contain secondary information that your team might need to sort, filter, or report on work items. Each user can customize context fields to work for them by pinning their most used ones to the top of a work item in the Pinned fields group. Learn more about pinning fields.

空の場合は非表示

コンテキスト フィールド セクションには、常に重要なフィールドと、場合によっては重要なフィールドとを分類できる区切り線が用意されています。[空の場合は非表示] の上にあるフィールドは [詳細] グループに表示されて、下にあるフィールドに値がない場合は [その他のフィールド] グループで非表示になります。[その他のフィールド] グループのフィールドに値がある場合、そのフィールドは [詳細] グループに移動します。

フィールド

This section is for fields that you don't want to appear on the work item at all. Use the search bar in this section to find and add fields to the work item. To add fields, use the search bar in this section and drag them into the Description or Context field sections.

To remove fields from the layout of the work item, you can drag fields to this section or in the field more menu select Remove field.

Customize the layout of the work item

Customizing the fields that appear on your team’s work items can help your team resolve requests faster. For example, if there are a few fields that need to be filled out for every work item, then it makes sense for those fields to be visible and somewhere towards the top of the work item.

Each project has its own layout. You can’t share layout settings between projects right now. See how to add fields that don't appear in the layout screen.
