Kanban: epics hidden but in swimlanes

Question

Hello, I don't know if I can achieve this result. I would like to have my kanban board swimlanes organised by epics but I don't want to see the epics themselves in the board. Epics are indeed used as mere containers in my project and showing them together with tasks and stories is confusing.

no idea as I don't use Android. you might reach out to Atlassian Support to inquire.

Hi Jack, you're totally right, thanks a lot. Is there a way to achieve the same result on the Jira app for android? At the moment the app shows the epics in the board along with tasks and stories so then it's confusing.

If you do swim lanes by epic that I think that’s exactly what you will get. Basically the epic will be a header for the swim lane and that’s it. All stories will be within the swim lane associated with that specific epic. Any issues that are not associated with an epic will be at the bottom under issues are not associated with epic title
