The first time you open Structure, you'll see the Structure welcome screen:
-
Create a new structure - this is where most people will start.
-
Open an existing structure - only select this if you need to find a structure someone else has shared with you.
The next time you open Structure, you’ll skip this screen and jump right to the last structure you were working with.
There are several ways to create a new structure. What you choose may depend on your experience level with Structure, or your needs in creating one.
Blank structure (Power mode)
When you create a new structure, you have two options for adding and organizing your work items: Speed mode and Power mode.
Regardless of which mode you choose, most other functionalities (adding columns, sorting columns, formulas, quick filters, etc.) work the same way.
Power mode provides even greater control over how you add and organize work items. If you’ve used Structure before and need to create a highly customized hierarchy, this is for you.
Power mode also allows you to use flex items for advanced project planning.
-
Building a Structure in Power Mode with Presets - accomplish common tasks with one of our templates
-
Building a Structure in Power Mode with Generators - build powerful, custom hierarchies with generators (rules for inserting, grouping, and adding related work items)
-
Building a Structure in Power Mode Manually - manually add and organize work items
Scope-based builder (Speed mode)
Speed mode is a simple, quick way to organize your work items. It's a great place to start if you’re new to structure or just want to build a custom hierarchy easily.

If you have a good idea for a new structure, but need additional help to create it, use the Structure Creation Assistant to help build out your idea. Describe your board in plain language and the assistant will set everything up for you.
Structure templates
These templates cover common uses for Structure so you can get your board up and running with minimal effort. After creation, structures made with templates behave like those made in through the Blank structure (power) option.
