Hi Samir,

JIRA has the often confusing but very powerful concept of "schemes", which are a mapping between projects and configuration. You can set up configurations - for which fields are shown on a screen, in this example - and save it as a scheme. Every project that is set to use that scheme will share the same configuration from then on, and a change to one of them will affect all of them. When you create new projects, you can set to them to use that same scheme, and they will pick up all the existing settings and any future changes.

For example, let's say you have a Screen, called "Resolve Issue". In your Screen Schemes, you would have a scheme called "Default Screen Scheme", which defines which screens are used for which operations (e.g. use the "Resolve Issue" screen when resolving an issue).

Then we have an "Issue Type Screen Scheme", which defines which issue types are associated with which Screen Schemes. (e.g. all bugs use the "Default Screen Scheme").

So, if you want all projects to use the same configuration, you can set up one of each of these - one Screen Scheme and one Issue Type Screen Scheme. Then, when creating a new project, or from the project administration page for an existing project, assign that Issue Type Screen Scheme to it. From now on, all changes to screens should be shared across all projects.

This is a good place in the docs to start: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA043/Defining+a+Screen

In the top nav, click the drop down arrow next to 'Projects' and select 'View All Projects'

What about adding the Projects gadget to the Dashboard and select all projects?

By "Projects Issue Screens", do you mean the screen that shows a summary of information about a project (e.g. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA ), or a Screen as in a collection of fields, as defined under the Screens heading in JIRA administration?
