I've got no items on my backlog and it's driving me crazy!

Question

HI, I've just trying out Jira and I've created a project, and an issue. I would like to assign the issue to a sprint on my board, but there are no items on the backlog, I was expecting to see the issues there and be able to drag them onto the sprint. I've looked and cannont find anywhere that tells me how to get items on the backlog! I am sure I am missing something simple but can't work it out!

Thanks Dale. I'm happy my old answer can still help

Thank you for this answer. It helped me with a similar issue. I deleted my old board, which somehow had a disconnect with my project, created a new board for the project, and all my user stories are now visible and can be added to sprints.

What workflow did you use for the project? I also came across this when not all statuses of the workflow were associated with one of the columns (To Do, In Progress, Done). Check your board configuration under "Columns" (if i remember correctly) and see if any of the statuses are not associated to a column.
