Understanding issue types in jira

[Kevin Gillooly]

Is the use of Issue Type in Jira Cloud different that their us in DC or Server?

[Rajesh Viswanathan]

Issue types distinguish different types of work in unique ways, and help you identify, categorize, and report on your team’s work across your Jira site. They can help your team build more structure into your working process.

Hi @Christina Nelson really useful. The hierarchy of issues (diagram) in particular. Can you help me understand where an assets sits within the diagram. thanks

Really interesting. I like really to play the games with the computer. It's enormously fun. :)

Last company where I worked, our issues were grouped into 

--- Epics

--- --- Features

--- --- --- Stories

--- --- --- --- Tasks (equivalent to subtasks in article above)

With each line being a sub-category of the line above.  However I'm not seeing the option of a level between Stories and Epics in this current software.  Can the extra level be added somehow?

excellent

Also, in our organisation - we have created additional issue types for specific type of work. Like Task brief, documentation etc. 

While we want everything as user story - sometimes having this additional issue type helps us accomodate one thing in a sprint cycle.
