Preconfigured views in your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
Your plan comes with four views that let you slice and dice your data in a variety of different ways to tell your story through the data. Switch between these views using the view selector dropdown menu next to Filters. They are:
You can keep these views as is, or you can use the View settings menu to change how your data displays, show or add columns, add colors, change groupings, and more. See all the ways you can change how your plan looks and what it shows.
For each change you make to a view, an EDITED label appears to indicate that this view has been modified but not saved. To recall this edited view later, you’ll need to save it. Find out how to save a new view.
