Board

When you first open the Board screen, you will be greeted with a blank slate similar to the image below. From here, you can select the issue types you want to see on the screen and make additions accordingly. However, don't worry, you don't have to make these settings every time you open the board screen. We save the final state of your settings for you, so they will be preserved when you revisit the board.

Open

Advanced Kanban Board main screen.

After selecting the issue types, if you haven't made any adjustments in the settings, by default, the board will display the first 6 statuses available in your Jira instance and show all the issues from your current project. This is the initial configuration that ensures a broad view of the issues on your board. If you wish to customize the displayed statuses or apply additional filters, you can make the necessary adjustments in the settings to refine the board according to your preferences.

Collapse Issue Types

If you want to quickly review other issue types without completely removing issue types from your board, you can narrow down the displayed issue types to achieve a more focused view.

Export Issues

If you want to export the issues on your board in PDF or Excel format, click on the "Export Issues" button located in the top right corner of your screen.
