Count Sub-Items Column

The Count Sub-Items column allows you to quickly see how many items are beneath a work item or flex item within a structure.

In the example above, we can see that there are only 3 sub-items beneath epic GREEN-40, but 57 sub-items are in the GreenCycle group.

Use Cases

The Count Sub-Items column can be used to identify:

• How many items are contained within a folder or other grouping

• How many items have been assigned to each resource (when your items are grouped by Assignee)

• How many tasks are necessary to complete each story, epic, or initiative

Depending on how you've grouped your items, you may not want to count all sub-items. Instead, it may be more useful to just count the bottom level. In this case, you could use the Count Leaves column.
