Get started with Jira
New to Jira? Check out our guides for new administrators and users.
All users with access to the project can:
Filter their issues
Copy their issues
Change the order of their issues
Reorder their list fields
Use Filter to filter issues in your list. Learn more about using filters
When you sort your list, child issues will stay with the parent. The issue type icons will be nested below each other, so you can clearly see how the items relate to each other.
To sort the list view alphabetically:
Hover over the field (column) header
Select to sort the list alphabetically A → Z or Z → A.
To quickly copy an issue link:
Hover over the issue key you’d like to copy
Select the link icon and it will automatically copy the link to the issue.
You can arrange issues according to their relative importance or urgency by ranking them. Simply drag and drop an issue to a higher or lower position in your list. You can also change the ranking of child issues under their parent issue.
Everyone visualizes their work differently, so you may want to customize the list view. Arrange your list view so you can view the information that’s most important to you first.
To reorder the fields in your list:
Hover your cursor over the field (column) header
Select the drag icon
Drag the fields (columns) at the top of the list to suit the order in which you’d like to view your items.
To move issues and change the order in the list view, you’ll first need to clear any sorting rankings you’ve used.
Use keywords from your issue summary, or description to search in the list view. Enter the keyword and all issues containing those keywords will be shown. You can also search by entering the whole issue key.
Anyone with access to the project can hide issues marked as ‘Done’ or with the done status category:
Navigate to the list view in your business project
Select More at the top-right of your list view
Switch on the toggle to Hide done items.
Once you’ve hidden the done items, it will only appear for you. Those with access to the same project will need to hide it for themselves if they don’t want to see them.
