Card & label colors

Open Configure › Card colors and pick a Color source:

Color source Cards are colored by
None No color
Work item types Their type, for example Bug, Story or Task
Priorities Their priority
Customer request types Their JSM request type
JQL The first JQL rule they match

Then choose a color for each value, or each rule. Choose how the color is applied:

  • Left edge color: a colored strip on the left of the card
  • Background color: the whole card is tinted

With the JQL source, select Create JQL Card Color and add rules such as:

Color JQL
Red due < now() AND resolution = EMPTY
Amber due <= 3d AND resolution = EMPTY
Purple labels = customer

Only the first matching rule applies, so drag the most important rules to the top.

Open Configure › Label Colors to give labels their own colors, for example frontend in blue and security in red. Colored labels show on Board cards and in filters, so you can scan them at a glance. Select Add label color, pick a label and choose a color.
