Customizing Sprint Grid in Backlog view

Brent Hetland

Hi,

We are new to using Jira. I searched the community and couldn't find a thread on this...

Q. Can we customize the columns that display in the Sprint and Backlog grids, in the Backlog view?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but MANY things make these grids difficult to read or not informative enough:

1. There are no column names.
2. The data that is displayed (other than the first column), is all right aligned and flow to the right (so the columns appear jagged).
3. I'd rather see the Priority Number than the up / down arrows (the differences in the colors are very difficult to distinguish when using a projector).
4. I'd like to display Remaining Time in the Sprint grids, rather than Original Time Estimate.

Thanks, Brent

Hi Brent

I'm not totally sure if I'm answering what you're asking, but if you go to Board settings by clicking on the 3 dots in the top right hand corner, then select the Card layout tab. Each Backlog item and each sprint item can have an additional 3 fields added to them.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can't remove fields that are already showing and you don't have any say in where these 3 items appear, apart from the order of them.

I hope this helps
