Field Sections on Jira Screens - Yeah or Nah
Do you ever come across forms where the number of fields seems endless? I do! 😵💫
Having too many fields on a single form can lead to confusion and difficult navigation.
🔗Very often, multiple fields on the screens refer to the same area of information, for example:
-
Standard contact details in service requests
-
Hardware specifications for IT support
-
Access details for admins
🗂️These groups are often further divided into smaller areas, for example:
New employee data can be grouped into:
-
Basic details
-
Contact details
-
Identification details
🤔Instead of a wall of fields, wouldn’t it be better to present separate sections? This would make it easier for our users to enter data and would help structure our screens more effectively:
👉We can achieve such a screen structure using Dynamic Forms with the Bundled Fields feature.
It’s not just a convenience for the person creating the work item. Such compressed information also makes it easier for the responsible agent to read and process the item later on:
💡Bundled Fields from Dynamic Forms can be used across different products like Jira Software, Work Management, and Service Management (including the portal side), and not only on the creation screens, which gives many opportunities to improve entire processes.
And you? Have you ever thought about how to better organize your screens? 💁♀️
Or maybe you’ve been looking for a way to label specific sections and overlay something like an additional form on internal screens, similar to JSM Forms?
