on Jira Board can we group by component

[Nilesh]

We have various components in our project , I need to create a kanban board and group my work items by components, However I don't see Component in Group dropdown. Can you please let us know how Component  can we be added in Group.

Welcome @Nilesh 

Directly, no. You would have to create quick filters to handle different components. You can find the documentation here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/jql-fields/

If you are handling multiple components, you would use something like this, for example:

project = "TEST" AND component IN ("Component1", "Component2")

Hi  @Nilesh,



welcome to the community and nice to meet you!



As far as I know, grouping by component is not supported in any board view or list view in Jira.



However, if you’re open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, your have options.
E.g. my team and I are working on JXL for Jira, which is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your Jira data that allows viewing, inline-editing, copy-pasting, sorting, and filtering by all your work items' fields, including component, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. 


It also comes with a long list of further features, including support for work item grouping based any work item field(s) and configurable sum-ups.



This example sheet shows the items grouped by assignee, but you can group by literally any field. You can also easily create your own structure and group by project, components, assignee, ....






You might want to give it a try and if you have any questions just let me know,


Best,



Paul
