Key concepts
Task Hub
Section titled “Task Hub”A Task Hub is a named, saved view of work items. It has:
- a scope, which decides which work items it includes
- configuration: columns, swimlanes, quick filters, card layout, colors and calendar settings
- access settings: who can view it and who can change it
A space can have any number of Task Hubs. Each one lives in a home space, where it appears in the Task Hub picker, even when its scope covers other spaces.
| Scope | Includes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| This space | Work items in the home space, optionally filtered with JQL | Team boards, workstreams within one space |
| Across multiple spaces | Results of any JQL query | Programs, shared services, leadership views |
Task Hub always applies your Jira permissions on top of the scope. If you can’t see a work item in Jira, you won’t see it in a Task Hub.
Every Task Hub can be shown as a Board, List, Calendar, Timeline or Summary. Switch views with the tabs at the top. Filters you apply carry across views.
| Who | Can view | Can configure |
|---|---|---|
| Jira admins | All Task Hubs | Yes |
| Space admins (of the home space) | All Task Hubs in the space | Yes |
| Task Hub Administrator | Yes | Yes |
| Task Hub Member | Yes, including private Task Hubs | No |
| Everyone else who can browse the space | Public Task Hubs only | No |
Anyone who can view a Task Hub can create, edit, move and comment on work items, as far as their Jira permissions allow. See Access & roles.
Space types
Section titled “Space types”Task Hub works with software, business and Jira Service Management spaces, both company-managed and team-managed. In JSM spaces you can group and color requests by request type.
How Task Hub relates to Jira boards
Section titled “How Task Hub relates to Jira boards”Task Hub doesn’t change or replace Jira boards, filters or workflows. It reads your work items and updates them through the standard Jira APIs. When you move a card, the work item transitions in Jira just as it would anywhere else.
