Getting the Most Out of Structure

Structure is more than just a way to organize your work items - it's a full-featured project management tool that allows you to view, track, and manage your data in highly customizable ways. Building your structure is just the first step - now it's time to add columns, formulas, and other features to get the most out of your data.

Add Custom Columns

By adding columns to your structure, you can view key information about your work items at a glance. In this way, your structure becomes a custom reporting tool.

If you haven’t added any columns yet, check outWorking with Columns to learn all about your options.

Filter Your Work Items

The Filter tool allows you to temporarily focus on a specific subset of work items within the structure, such as:

  • work items in a specific status

  • unresolved work items

  • work items assigned to you

  • work items related to a specific person, project, sprint, release, etc.
