Organize your list
Unless otherwise noted, the list in software projects is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
Anyone with access to the project can group work items in the list
Your grouping and sorting will only be visible to you
Your grouping will persist when returning to list view from other views and projects
You can group the work items in your list by certain attributes. Organize and visualize your work how you want to. For example, you can check high-priority tasks to see that nothing is blocked or see individual team members' workloads at a glance.
All users are in control of how they want to view their work – so any group you create can only be seen by you. You can group your work by:
Assignee
Status
Priority
Sprint
Story point estimate
Category
When you sort, child work items will stay with their parent work items. The work type icons will be nested below each other, so you can clearly see how the work items relate to each other.
For example, if you sort the list by assignee you’ll see each work item listed under the person it’s assigned to. Any child work items will be nested below their parent work item, even if they’re assigned to a different person.
This allows you easily keep track of the hierarchy and relationship between pieces of work, no matter how you organize your list view.
Drag and drop work items
Once you group your work items, you can drag and drop a work item from one group to another.
To drag and drop work items:
Hover over the Type column for the work item you want to drag to see the icon.
Hold and drag the work item to the assignee, status, priority, sprint or story point estimate you want to move it to.
Drop the work item.
The work item should now be assigned the attributes of the group it has been moved to.
You cannot drag and drop work items when grouped by Status.
Clear the group
To clear the grouping:
Select the Group by drop-down at the top-right of the list.
Select Clear.
