yes the circles with initials. You can use these avatars to select the assignee, which will filter the entire board based on your selection(s). So, if you were to select only your avatar, then it would be the same as only my issues. It might be a good idea to inspect the JQL query associated with only my issues. This can be done under board settings and then quick filters.
In reviewing the images The following is the only one that appears odd to me. All others demonstrate what I would expect to see.
Please find your avatar and click it but be sure to deselect all other avatars and ensure "only my issues" is deselected as well.
of all the images above, the latest one show the problem exactly.
there's an issue from "A", which is displayed neatly in its own panel.
and above that there's mine which is just a string of text with a link on one end.
that suggests it's a setting on my account, but where?
1. what's a swimlane and where is it configured? i'm only a user, i don't have the permissions to change settings.
2. the issues on the jira board are displayed in two different ways.
a. the first is as a simple text string with a link on the left. e.g.
these are always displayed on the left and do not move position into their correct column.
b. the second is displayed as a draggable object, like this:
these are displayed in the correct column.
each kind seems always displayed consistently.
i was confused because i only have the first kind.
my colleagues have a mixture of both.
3. my question becomes, then, how do i display all issues in the second way?
thanks,
s.
Hi @Stephen.Hulbert , ultimately I would refer you to your administrator or the Board owner to assist in understanding the board and addressing any display changes you want.
Swimlanes are the horizontal groupings of issues on the board. In the image of your board below the blue illustrates two swimlanes (A, B). The yellow highlight illustrates that your swimlanes are configured by Stories. So each swimlane is a story and the Cards (you refer to them as objects) within the swimlane are the subtasks.
With that in mind, in the below image no cards are shown. If you click on the "collapse/expand" arrow (encircled in red) and no cards are shown then I would surmise that the Story has no subtasks. In fact you will note that the arrows in the below image are pointing down illustrating they are expanded. Therefore this confirms you do not have subtasks in your stories.
In Summary, if your stories will not have subtasks and you want the stories to show as cards then the Board configuration needs to be altered to not have swimlanes by Stories. In my final image below you will see an example of what swimlane configuration looks like and the options available. Note, this can only be done by the board owner/ admin.
hopefully my explanation makes sense. If not let me know but most importantly you should chat with your admin.
