GreenHopper allows you to set up rankings for your issues to help you organise tasks in your product/sprint backlog more effectively. Rankings allow you to prioritise issues at a more granular level than issue priorities in JIRA, as rankings can help you to determine whether a single issue is more important/urgent than another single issue. For example, you may have two separate issues which both have a priority of 'Major'. Using GreenHopper, you can assign one of the issues a higher ranking than the other.
Before you can rank issues in your project, your administrator will need to set up a ranking field for the project. This is a custom field that is added to every issue in your project. Whenever you add or edit an issue in your project, you will be able to select a unique ranking value for it in the 'Rank' field.
For information on how to set up a ranking field for your project, please see Configuring your General Project Settings.
A ranking field must be specified for each project in which you wish to rank issues. You can re-use an existing ranking field for multiple projects, if you wish.
To rank issues in GreenHopper,
Important Information
Please note the following information before ranking your issues:
You can drag-and-drop one or multiple cards in GreenHopper with your mouse. Just hold down the 'CTRL' key on your keyboard (if selecting multiple issues), click the card header (i.e. the top section of the card, containing the issue key) to select the desired card(s), then drag to the desired destination.
Screenshot:Dragging and dropping a card
You can move an issue(s) between pages by dragging the card(s) up to the pagination controls (e.g. '1', '2', '3', '>>', etc) and then onto your chosen page in the desired location.
Once you have dropped a card in a new location, the other cards are immediately reorganised.
If you drag and drop an issue with sub-tasks, all of the sub-tasks will also be moved together with the parent issue. You cannot drag and drop a parent issue onto a subtask nor a subtask onto a different parent issue.
