Customize Your Data

Hierarchy for Jira offers many options for customizing how you view your data, including custom columns to display different types of Jira information, saved JQL filters, and more.

Quick Filters

You can set up quick filters to quickly and easily filter your issues. Select Manage quick filters from the Quick filters dropdown to create a new filter or to manage your existing filters.

If your filter shows an issue, then any parent or child issues related to it are also shown by default. You can change this by turning off the Show all child issues toggle in the table preferences page of the Settings modal. 

The filter appears in the list. You can edit or delete filters by returning to this menu anytime.

When you're happy with your filters, select Done.

Your quick filters appear at the top of your Hierarchy for Jira page.

Add Columns

You can customize columns to track only the information you need and nothing else.

You can add as many columns as you want. Add columns by selecting them in the menu or by typing the field name you want to add to search for it. 

You can also remove a column by unchecking its checkbox or by clicking the x next to its name at the top of the modal window.

When you are happy with the columns, select Done.

The order in which the columns are listed in the Add or Remove Columns screen is the order they will appear in the table view.

Remove columns

You can remove a column from your current view without opening the Add or remove columns modal window. To remove a column, click the three-dot menu for the column you want to remove, and select Remove column.
