List view and sorting options Jira Cloud VS Jira Data Center

Question

Hi, I have been testing Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center in the past weeks.

In Jira Cloud I have a list view of the work items, which i can manually drag/drop in the order that I want and also expand/collapse all sub-tasks under the parent.

I have been trying to figure out whether this is also possible in Jira Data Center, but couldnt find the solution yet.

Any advice please? Thanks

Hi @Manuela

The List view function is a Cloud only function, this function doesn't exist in Jira Data Center.

Also be aware that Jira Data Center will be decommissioned as a product in 2029, see https://www.atlassian.com/migration

@Manuela - if you want to sort your Jira tasks in any order you'd like, consider making a board (a Kanban or Scrum board) to help organize your work. That feature is in both versions of Jira.

Hello @Manuela

Welcome to the community!

As mentioned by Marc, Atlassian does not offer an equivalent to the Jira Cloud list view in Data Center.

Your best bet are apps from the Atlassian Marketplace. If you're open to that, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged list/spreadsheet/table view for your Jira data that allows viewing, inline-editing, copy-pasting, sorting, and filtering by all your work items' fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. It's quite a bit more powerful than the Jira Cloud list view.

It also comes with a number of great features, including configurable JQL scope, custom issue hierarchy, cascaded groupings by any fields, sum-ups, conditional formatting, formulas (release imminent), and much more. This is how it looks in action:

JXL is available for both Jira Cloud and Data Center and works with all Jira products.

Hope this helps. Any questions just let me know.

Best,
Daniel
