Board and backlog

The board

The Board tab shows issues as cards in columns, one per workflow status. It opens on the active sprint.

A sprint board

• Move work by dragging a card to another column. On a phone, press and hold a card for a moment, then drag; a quick swipe scrolls the board instead.
• Filter by text, assignee, sprint (All sprints, No sprint or a particular sprint) and label. The team filter at the top right shows one team's work.
• Group the board By column or By epic.
• Each column shows how many issues it has and their points.
• Each card shows the key, title, priority, type, points, epic, labels and assignee. Click it to open the issue.
• Tick cards (hover to see the checkbox) to edit several at once.
• Create issue or C on the board puts the new issue in the sprint the board is showing.

Cards can move to any column unless an admin has set allowed moves in Settings › Workflows. Then a card dropped on a column it can't move to stays where it was.

The backlog

The Backlog tab lists all open work in rank order. The order is the team's priority: the top is what's next.

The backlog

• Drag rows by the handle on the left to change the order.
• Search by key or title and filter by type.
• Switch the order from Backlog order to sort by priority, last update or key.
• Tick Show done to include finished work.
• Filter by sprint shows all sprints, only work not in a sprint, or one sprint.
• The Sprint column is a picker: choose a sprint on any row to move that issue into it, or No sprint to take it out.
