Ranking items in Structure

Ilan Barel

HI, I tried to move items around in a structure (using 'allow manual adjustments' checkbox in the structure definition). It didn't allow me to do so.

Now I want to create a Rank field that is only part of the structure and I can sort the order of epics by it. I'm wondering if this is possible and also whether this value will be available for the other users of the structure.

I don't want to add any 'rank' or 'weight' field to the epic themselves (that is not the solution I'll be looking for).

Hello @Ilan Barel

Dionathan with ALM Works here. Hope you are doing great.

In this case, you could try using Sequential Index, where you will add a numeric column corresponding to an item's position within Structure. Please refer to this article for more information and instructions - Link

Thank you for this interesting direction. I'm not yet sure how it can get me to what I want.

Are you saying that if I change this index manually then the order of the items will be shown in a particular order?

I'm trying to show the top priority epic in location #1, second in #2, and so on. As this is fairly dynamic and up to discussions I want to be able to switch locations of epics within the structure. I don't want to use static rank fields within each epic issue in Jira.

Hi @Ilan Barel

Are you saying that if I change this index manually then the order of the items will be shown in a particular order?

Yes. You would just need to drag and drop the epics to their right position. For example:

I have the following order in my Structure: Epic 2 / Epic 3 / Epic 4. Please note the Index column:

If I need to move Epic 4 for the first position, then the Index column should be updated as the following:

Hope that helps.

Thank you. I added an index column but couldn't change it manually (can I?). I also tried to switch the lines around but the structure doesn't allow me to do that. So.. not working yet.

Hi there @Io-Cheong HO

I usually resolve these problems by building the automation again. First add the extenders and then the 'insert' last. This usually works for me. Not sure why, but it does.
