Columns Management
Column is a container of statuses, issues will be grouped into columns where its status is mapped to. Besides board scope and JQL filter, columns also affect what issues are shown in board. In this page, we will explain in details what supported in Columns Management page and some other concerns.
Map / un-map statuses
- When a status is un-mapped, issues have that status will not be shown up in board.
- When dragging an issue in board, the available columns are determined by a few factors:
1. The issue type: to determine which workflow should be used
2. The issue status: to determine which transitions are available and what statuses the issue can be moved to
3. The statuses mapping configuration: available columns are the ones with available statuses from (2) mapped
- Columns have no statuses mapped will not be shown in board
