Configuring the Issue Navigator

PDF

The Issue Navigator is used within JIRA to find and filter issues, and to display the search results in various formats ('views'). It is possible to select which issue fields will be displayed as columns in the issue navigator.

JIRA administrators can configure which columns appear in the issue navigator by default, for all users that do not have their personal navigator columns configured. Each authenticated JIRA user can override these defaults by configuring their own navigator columns to fit their needs. Note that only users who can see at least one issue in the JIRA installation are able to configure issue navigator columns.

Note

JIRA administrators can also select which views are available in the JIRA system, as views are configurable via plugins.

Configuring the default Issue Navigator Columns

JIRA administrators can configure the default navigator columns by navigating to the "Administration section" and then choosing "Navigator Columns" from the "Issue Fields" menu on the left.

To move a column left or right, click on the left-arrow or right-arrow icon that appears under the column's heading.
To remove the column from the list, click the bin icon which appears under the column's heading.
To add a column to the list, select the issue field name from the drop-down box titled "Add New Column" and click the "Add" button. The column will appear as the right-most column in the list. It is then possible to position the column where desired using the arrow icons.
If the column order has been modified from the defaults, users can restore the global defaults by selecting the "Restore Defaults" link (which will appear only if they have modified their issue navigator from the global defaults). When configuring the global defaults (only available to administrators), the link is called "Restore System Defaults", and when clicked restores the configuration that JIRA ships with by default.

Note:

When configuring navigator columns, a user can only see columns for issue fields that have not been hidden.
It is possible to add any of the existing custom fields to the navigator column list. When configuring the navigator columns a user can choose any custom field that they have permissions to see. That is, any custom field except those that are project-specific and apply only to a project that the user does not have permissions to browse. Some custom fields, even if selected to be part of the navigator columns, will not appear in the issue navigator for all issues. For example, project-specific custom fields will be shown only if the filter has been restricted to that project only. Issue type custom fields will only appear if the filter has been restricted to that issue type.
When administrators are configuring default navigator columns, their permissions are ignored, so that they can add a project-specific custom field from a project that they do not have permissions to browse. The field would never be actually shown to users that do not have permissions to see it.
