Documentation for GreenHopper 5.2.x . Documentation for other versions of JIRA Agile is available too.
GreenHopper is now called JIRA Agile. Learn more.

The task board allows you to easily transition issues in a particular version along a workflow by dragging and dropping cards between workflow statuses.

Transitioning Issues

 

To transition issues in GreenHopper,

  1. Log into JIRA.
  2. Click the 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and select 'Task Board' from the resulting dropdown menu. The 'Task Board' will be displayed.
  3. Select your project from the project dropdown (top left of the Task Board above the 'Task Board' dropdown), if it is not already selected. The 'Task Board' will refresh with information for your project.
  4. Select the version that you want to transition issues from the 'Version dropdown'.
    (info) You will not be able to select 'Unscheduled' or any released versions in the 'Version dropdown'.
  5. Transition an issue by dragging and dropping the card between the columns on your Task Board as desired.
  6. Fill out the transition card, if it is shown. A transition card will be shown if,
    • The destination column is associated with more than one status — The possible transitions will be in the transition card. Select the desired workflow action. You can also optionally add a comment for this transition.
    • The (JIRA) transition screen requires some mandatory fields — The mandatory fields will be in the transition card. Fill out the fields as required. You can also optionally add a comment for this transition.
      (tick) Tip: If you want the comment field to always display on transitions, simply set the issue type as a required field on your transition screen.
  7. The issue status will be updated immediately, once you have dropped it into the destination column.

Dragging and Dropping Cards

It is not possible to drag and drop multiple cards on the GreenHopper 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.
