Getting the Most Out of Structure

Structure is more than just a way to organize your issues - 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

Structure allows you to display tons of information about each issue - building your own custom reports.

You can add a column for any Jira field, as well as many custom columns available only in Structure. Here are some of our most popular columns:

Field columns - display and (optionally) aggregate the values in Jira fields
Progress Column - calculate issue progress based on the values from the issue and its sub-issues
Test Run Column - add a lightweight testing checklist to a structure
Time in Status Column - calculate how much time issues spend in a particular status
Aggregate (Totals) Columns - aggregate values from numeric and time-tracking fields
Formula Columns - perform simple or complex calculations based on issue fields, or compare values from multiple fields

Filter Your Issues

The filter tool allows you to focus on a specific subset of issues within the structure, such as:

issues in a specific status
unresolved issues
issues assigned to you
issues related to a specific person, project, sprint, release, etc.

Share Your Structure

Now that you've created and customized your structure, share it with your team members, so they can see the same information you're seeing.

When you share a link to the structure, others will see the same hierarchy, issues, and columns as you - provided they have the necessary permissions. If you're not sure, you can click Share with everyone to make the structure visible to your whole organization.
