We’re updating our terminology in Jira

The term ‘project’ will soon be replaced with 'space'. You may notice some inconsistencies while we make this change.

Customize cards on your business space's board

This page is for business spaces

To check whether you’re in a business or software space, select More actions (•••) next to the space name in either the header or the sidebar. At the bottom of the menu that opens, your space details will be shown.

You can customize the cards shown on your board to see the information that’s most important to you. You can choose to see as much or as little information on the cards of your work items on the board.

You can customize the board cards to see the following fields, and any other custom fields you’ve set up for your space:

  • Key

  • Type

  • Assignee

  • Reporter

  • Due date

  • Start date

  • Updated (last updated)

  • Subtasks (if your space has subtasks as a default work type)

  • Priority

  • Labels

  • Created

  • Confluence pages (if your license includes Confluence)

  • Linked work items

  • Category (new spaces only)

To adjust what information you view for the cards on the board, you can:

  1. On the board, select View settings.

  2. Select Customize cards.

  3. Choose what fields you’d like to be visible on your cards by selecting or deselecting the checkbox to the left of the field name. The fields of the cards will automatically adjust on your board.
