What is the list?
Unless otherwise noted, the list in software projects is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
Jira’s list sorts all your project’s work into a single list that can be quickly scanned and sorted by field. You can also use the list to create, edit, and view work items in your project.
The columns in your list
Understand what each column in your list means:
Type: This column indicates the type of work item in your list. Jira enables you to keep track of different types of work — bugs, tasks, subtasks, etc — by using different work types. The default work types depend on how your project has been set up by your project admin and which Jira template you’re using in your instance. Learn more about work types.
Key: This column gives you a project and unique work item key. For example, this could look like TBT-12.
