Advanced Roadmaps change Item hierarchy

Question

Hi,

I am new to Advanced Roadmaps and I want to make my Gantt Charts there. Also I've added two more hierarchy levels (by the way - this process is not really intuitive). However I saw that I'll need another hierachy level after I did some work there - it was no problem to do that.

However I'm kind of stuck now, because I want to change the hierarchy level of already made items.

So let's say that I want to change the hiararchy level of item number xyz from level 2 to 1. How can I do that?

Hi,

changing the hiarchy options itself wasn't the problem.

The problem was to change the hierarchy level of one "item" itself after updating the hiearchy configuration.

For example:

Change the hiearchy level of item "Project 1" from "Initiative" to "Milestone". To do that I had to open every item itself and click on the symbol in the title in order to change the category. I hoped that there is some kind of bulk option to do that for more than one item at the same time.

Hi @Christian Neubauer,

To change the hierarchy configuration itself, you'll need to navigate to <yoursite>.atlassian.net/secure/PortfolioHierarchy.jspa where you can introduce new levels or remove old ones. You can drag and drop the levels above Epics in the order you want.

Have a look at this support article for a more detailed description of the steps to follow.

If you change the hierarchy levels, it is possible that you'll need to redefine the parent-child relations between issues in your plan, obviously. But that is not so difficult to do through drag and drop or bulk update, directly inside your plan.

Hope this helps!
