Advanced Task Views and Searching

  • This can be done through the standard Jira Issue Search : https://smartregister.atlassian.net/issues
  • JQL queries can be saved eg 'Reveal, Not Done, Parent' for all stories without a parent Epic 

    type key summary assignee reporter priority status resolution created updated due
    Refresh

     (project = Reveal AND parent is EMPTY AND status = Done)
  • These can be used to populate dashboards

Importing Issues 

  • Import issues using the CSV import from the Jira Issues and FIlters page (https://smartregister.atlassian.net/issues) - Top right Horizontal Kebab menu icon.
  • Epic links cannot be imported - these will have to be added once the import is complete - suggest using LABELS to indicate epics if necessary  Instead of labels, we will manually link if necessary after import.
  • Use LABLES for other types of data that may need to be used later

Board

  • Tasks can have an image which shows up on the card
  • Filtering on the left  and grouping on the right are very powerful

Standard View

 Grouped By Epic - We will not use Epic for releases
