Get started with Jira Work Management
New to Jira Work Management? Check out our guides for new administrators and users.
All content related to Jira Cloud Automation, previously under the Automate your Jira processes and workflows section, have moved to the new Cloud Automation docs.
Components let you and your team classify issues so you can easily find and report on them. As a project admin, you can create components that you and your team can then add to issues via the standard component field.
To create a new component:
Navigate to your project and choose Project settings
Choose Components in the sidebar and choose Create component
Give the component a name
Optionally, fill in the following values:
Description - Describe the component so other can understand what it’s used for
Component lead - A person designated as being responsible for issues that have the component
Default assignee - A person who is automatically assigned to the issue if the component is added
Choose Save
Once you’ve added at least one component, a new Components item will appear in the project sidebar. There, you and your team can view existing components and the issues that have that component.
