I'm new here about jira. Please let me know how I'll start to work on this?
Hi, I am an admin and have just completed our first project in JIRA cloud and would like to archive it. However, I can only see an option to delete. Any suggestions? TIA
Hi Marcus! There isn’t an Archive function. What I do is create an Archive project category and I create an Archive Notification scheme which only allows Jira admins to browse the project.
Adding a helpful tip @Marcus Seeger if you precede the project name with {Archive} it will move the archived project to the bottom of the projects list.
I just logged onto Jira to begin working today, and I am very confused as to what to do first. I do feel like there is something I am supposed to be working on since I got the initial email from my team to begin working. However, I have no idea what to start with. I did see a bunch of projects in my Projects folder, so do I start with those? If I do, would they walk me through each task?
Hi there, @Jack Brickey @Tinker Fadoua I need some assistance please. I have been using JIRA for about a year, but recently joined a new company and trying to find my way around how they set it up.I created a Scrum board for myself so I can change the view to how it works for me, but the little faces of my team members are not showing up on the top left of the scrum board as (quick Filters) like they used to. Why is that and can I fix this? I had to manually setup quick filters with each team members name as a workaround. Many thanks
Riana
Good morning @riana
Thank you for reaching out!
The avatars seen on your small screenshot display usually on a backlog and sprints for sure. I personally never had Avatars on any quick filter.
If it is a new feature, I am not aware of it. However let me check and get back to you.
Best,
Fadoua
Thank you Fadoua,
No not a new feature, my actual query is, why is it not showing on my Sprint.. I had to create the quick filters as a workaround because they are not there.
Kind RegardsRiana
@riana If avatars are not displaying on your backlog and sprints then there is a problem. However they will never display on your quick filters. I am checking Atlassian Docs there were never avatars in quick filters.
Couple questions please:
Best
Thank you for all the assistance so far, see attached pictures of my current sprint view and my backlog view.
Glad to see that everything is working fine @riana ! Don't hesitate to reach out to the community if help is needed 🙂
@Tinker Fadoua Hi there, it's just on the active sprint view that the Avatars are still not displayed
@riana is the same behavior happening from different browsers? What browser are you using? Also did you check with another user to see if everything is displaying properly for them?
Oh if you are expecting the avatars to display for each user on the quick filters that will never happen. Avatars never display there.
Waiting for your answers.
Hi @riana
Were you able to fix your issue?
Hello!
Faced the problem with user stories (and any other task type) is not being displayed on the project's board, Filter was set up correctly, as it shows all the tasks I need when executed it as JQL request.
I've also added sprint markers to some tasks, but they still do not appear on the board.
What am I doing wrong?
Ok, fixed this one myself. Problem was that the custom business process was not matching the columns, so I added associations between statuses and columns and then everything worked.
