The Classic Task Board allows you to easily transition issues in a particular version along a JIRA workflow by dragging and dropping cards between workflow statuses.
To transition issues in GreenHopper Classic,
If you are not the assignee of an issue, you might not be able to transition that issue on the Task Board, since permissions for transitioning issues in JIRA typically differ between assignees and other users. In such cases, you must first assign the issue to yourself before you can transition it on the Task Board. Alternatively, you can automate this process by selecting the 'Auto assign' option in the Task Board section of your User Preferences.
Screenshot: Dragging and dropping a card
It is not possible to drag and drop multiple cards on the Classic Task Board.
If you have a large number of issues that cannot fit into one column on a page, you can move an issue(s) between pages a column by dragging the card/row up to the pagination controls (e.g. '1', '2', '3', '>>', etc, which appear at the top of the relevant column) and then onto the page in the desired location. Be aware that if you have too many issues to display on the Task Board, you will need to configure your Task Board context to reduce the number of issues displayed.
