Condensed (table) view of active sprint board?

[Steve Fogel]

Is there a way to view a condensed version of the active sprint board (swimlanes) where instead of 2-inch-square tiles for each task, the board looks more like a table, where each row is only, say, 1/4" high, the first column is the task title, and subsequent columns are the swimlanes? The swimlane columns might contain just an icon, and to move a task to a new swimlane I could just click the icon. Thanks.

Hello @Steve Fogel ,

The layout of the board is static ber the look and feel and cannot be changed in the look and feel settings.  there are some options that allow for general layout and theme modifications covered in the following documentation but none of these will relate to the swimlane orientation or sizing:

• Layout and design
  • Configuring the look and feel of your Jira applications
  • Configuring the default dashboard
  • Configuring custom dashboards
  • Configuring the default issue navigator
  • Configuring the user default settings
  • Creating links in the application navigator
• Customize the team board

And while there are no native options to adjust the element configurations, you could look into some custom CSS injection options or modification of the CSS files in the server as discussed in the following threads, and adjust the layout as desired, noting that customizations of this nature are not supported and would be a "use at your own risk" option, as it could cause conflicts with native operations,  so extensive testing in a staging environment is always recon\mended for any customizations:
