How to Enable Ranking in Team-Managed Kanban Board

Question

We are running Jira Cloud and using Team-Managed projects. I want to enable Ranking for better backlog/issue management. I've read the articles, but the section describes selections/directions that don't directly match our board(s). I'm suspecting that Ranking is available for Company-Managed projects but not Team-Managed.

Would appreciate directions/tips/etc on this.

Thanks,

Hello, Again, @Trudy P Claspill  and @Mark Segall :

I would like to continue this discussion/investigation, but as I mentioned above, my attempts to include info prevent sending subsequent messages. Is it possible to communicate directly? My email is JTucci@megabytesystems.com. I'm also on MS Teams and Zoom.

Thanks & Regards,

-John

I can't seem to post a reply because I keep getting the "Invalid HTML code was removed..." message. Is there a way to communicate directly (email? MS Teams?). My email is JTucci@megabytesystems.com

Responding to  your response to Mark...

Can you provide a link to the document you are referencing?

Here are some links to documents that explain how Ranking works in Jira:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/rank-an-issue/

https://www.jirastrategy.com/questions/how-does-jira-issue-ranking-work

You don't explicitly set a Rank field. The field is automatically set for you as you drag and drop your issues in the Backlog screen to place them in the order in which you want them to be worked.
