Why are 'to do' tasks showing in JXL Sheets and Timeline, but not on the Board?

Natalie Keane

The board view in Jira doesn't show some 'to do' tasks, which are showing as 'to do' in the Timeline and in JXL Sheets. I need to Board to show all tasks regardless of their status. Please would someone mind advising on this? I'd be grateful for any help you can give.

TIA

Hi Natalie,

Can you give some more detail about your Board because there can be a number of reasons why these issues are not showing.

Things you could already check:

Does the board filter include these work items?
Are there subfilters that might exclude these work items?
Are there quick filters active that might hide these items?
Are the statuses mapped correctly to board columns?
...

Hey @Natalie Keane

Could you provide some additional details about the board in question, e.g.

business vs. software project
team-managed vs. company-managed
etc.

Those bits and pieces might help narrow down your request. If all work items in a specific status are not shown, I'd suspect an unmapped status regarding the columns. If only some work items in a specific status are not shown, I'd suspect a (board/quick/sub) filter.

Regards,
Thorsten

Hi @Thorsten Letschert _Decadis AG_

Thank you so much for your reply. The particular project is a team-managed/ software project.

In that case, I'd go for Filters or the column configuration accessible via Configure board.

Thank you I have done this and when clicking on 'configure board' the 'to do' items show up, yet they still don't show on the main board. I attach a screenshot of where they show under 'configure board'. configure board .png
