A ranking field is essentially a GreenHopper-specific custom field that you can use to rank your issues. The ranking field will be made available in the 'Sort by' drop down of your contexts. This will allow you to view your issues ordered by rank and prioritise them by drag and drop.

...

  1. Select the desired custom field to use as the flagging field from the dropdown in the 'Flagging field' section. The 'Field Value' dropdown will display.
    (info) Only Multi Select and Multi Checkbox custom fields will be available in this drop down. Ensure the custom field is configured with a value. Also, only the first value of the custom field will be visible in GreenHopper.
  2. Select the desired value to assign to issues when flagged in the 'Field Value' dropdown.

  • Your JIRA administrator will need to add and configure at least one 'Multi Select' custom field via the JIRA 'Administration' menu. See Adding a Custom Field for detailed instructions.
  • You must associate your ranking field with all issue types within a project.

...

  • 'Scheduling Permission' — Check this checkbox to override the 'Resolve Issues' permission (i.e. 'Fix for version' permission) with the JIRA 'Schedule Issues' permission. Users will then need to have the 'Schedule Issues' permission to drag and drop cards into version boxes. This also applies to prioritising issues.
  • 'Card Creation' — Check this checkbox to allow the creation of cards via GreenHopper. If you uncheck this checkbox, the creation of cards via GreenHopper will be locked.
  • 'Time Aggregation' — Select this check box to allow aggregation of time tracking fields between the parents and their subs in GreenHopper.
  • 'Auto assign' — Automatically assign issues to new users when transitioning issues on the Task Board.
  • 'Issue Link Type' — You can specify which link type the hierarchy plugin will use in this setting.
    (info) This option will not be available unless the Links Hierarchy Reports plugin has been installed into JIRA first. The Link Hierarchy Reports plugin can be downloaded from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange site.
