How do I access boards from the header?

[Roy Cole]

Is there a way to access the agile boards directly from the Jira header in the latest version of Jira Cloud? I previously used a version of Jira Server from 2018 where they could be accessed by clicking on "Dashboards" then the board name (it might have been called "Boards" instead of "Dashboards", I don't recall which). The intended workflow would be accessing the same screen that you would arrive at if you navigate to Projects->BOARD_NAME.

Hey Roy - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I have added an entry for it to the link to all boards in the Switch To menu in the upper left (the multi dot menu option).

Here's the link if you haven't got it:

Just sub out YourDomain for, well, your domain.  :-)

Hey now that is a nice hack! Pretty much replicates the feature I was looking for. Thank you for the suggestion.

Glad I could help.  :-)

Can you do an accept on my answer, as well? That will help guide users a little more.

Hi @Roy Cole,

You are right about that option in Server, where it is indeed called Boards. That option is not available in the Jira Software Cloud menu.

Accessing boards does indeed pass through the steps you describe in your question.

@Walter Buggenhoutthank you for the reply!

That's too bad it's not a feature in Cloud, but at least I don't feel crazy thinking I was doing something wrong :)
