Hi All,this might be a damn question or i did something silly i need assistance i'm having challenges all of a sudden with the way i see stories and bugs on my board,they normally came nicely under columns and all suddenly they are stacked up in rows and others are columns under "other issues".how do i get my view to look like what's under "other issues" for the whole active sprint

Hi @Matheepe Malunga welcome to the Atlassian community.

To me, it seems like you or a person with board permissions might have tried to change "swimlanes" view.

Would you please cross check your board settings.

@G subramanyam  Thank you for the suggestion i have done that however i'm facing a new challenge,how do i hide subtasks on a story i still want to see on the board.i don't know if i'm making sense.There are stories that have multiple subtasks and the board somewhatlooks better but it's long

Hello @Matheepe Malunga 

Welcome to the community.

The rows you are seeing are called Swimlanes. Swimlanes are a configurable option for the board. You need to go to Board Settings > Swimlanes, and then choose None to see all the issues show individually in the columns with no separation into rows. That change can be made only by a user who is an Administrator of the board.

@Trudy Claspill thank you for the suggestion ,i worked but my story subtasks are now making the inprogress column look way to much than it is

If you never ever want to see the sub-tasks on the board, then you can change the filter for the board to exclude them. Add this criteria:

and issueType not in subTaskIssueTypes()

If you want them included in the board sometimes, then you can create a Quick Filter to hide them when you don't want to see them. Use the same JQL as above, without the "and", for the Quick Filter.
