We have Jira premium and I'd like to group a kanban by the level above epics - there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this? It seems as if logically it would be a useful thing to be able to do
Hey @Elaine Cawthorne
Good day!
You can try the below approach:
1. Go to Swimlanes configuration under the board settings.
2. Select the queries method and add swimlanes based on the work types.
for example, issuetype = Epic, issuetype = Feature, etc will be individual queries.
3. Return to the board and select Group by Queries.
Thanks!
Hi @Elaine Cawthorne
As you are on Jira premium.
You can use the Plan functionality, see the documentation
Make sure in administration the hierarchy is correctly set.
Hi Elaine,
The hierarchy is based on work types (issue types) so you can group by that on a board or list screen. Or create a timeline/plan and group by that. Or create swimlanes based on work type query.
Hello @Karan Sachdev
Did you try your suggestion? It does not work.
Those queries do not make a swimlane per each item of the given type.
@Elaine Cawthorne
The agile boards do not support creating swimlanes by the issue type added to the hierarchy above Level 1 (Epics). There is not a "board" view capable of doing that.
In the List View for a project you can see the hierarchical relationships between items in that one project.
To see the hierarchical relationship between items in interrelated project you would need to use the Plan option as mentioned by @Marc -Devoteam-
Hey @Trudy P Claspill
It's working as expected on my end. Here are the screenshots from the board and swimlane configuration page:
I just tested it with Initiatives as well (Level 2 on my site). It works as expected.
