What is the list view?

The list view 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 add, edit, and view issues in your project.

The columns in your list

Understand what each column in your list view means:

Type: This column indicates the type of issue in your list. Jira enables you to keep track of different types of things — bugs, tasks, subtasks, etc — by using different issue types. The default issue types depend on how your project has been set up by your project admin and which business project template you’re using in your instance. Learn more about issue types

# Key: This column gives you a project and unique issue key. For example, this could look like TBT-12. Learn more about project and issue keys

Summary: This column shows the summary of the issue in your list. This should provide an overview of the task at hand.

Status: This column shows what stage each issue is up to in the project lifecycle.
