GreenHopper enables you to create and release a new JIRA version from the far-right column (usually named 'Done') on either the GreenHopper Task Board or the GreenHopper Rapid Board.
This is useful for creating an ad-hoc release whenever your 'Done' column contains enough value to warrant it, whereas the procedure for Adding a Version typically applies to a release that has been scheduled in advance.
Creating and Releasing a Version from the Task Board
To create and release a new Version,
- Log into JIRA.
Select Agile > Classic in the top navigation bar. Then select Classic Task Board from the drop-down below the project name.
- From the 'Views' menu, select 'Compact (Kanban)'.
- In the 'Done' column, click the icon (which will appear at the top right of the column when you hover over it).
- Select 'Release' from the drop-down menu. The 'Release Done from <Version>' window will display (see screenshot below). Complete the fields as follows:
- 'Version name' — Enter a short name for your new version. For details, see the JIRA documentation on Adding a Version.
- 'Start date' (optional) — Enter the start date for your new version. This will default to the date of the first transition of a card presently in the 'Done' column.
- 'End date' (optional) — Enter the end date for your new version. This will default to today's date.
- 'Release date' (optional) — Enter the date of release for your new version. This will default to today's date.
- 'Description' (optional) — Enter a longer description for your new version. For details, see the JIRA documentation on Adding a Version.
- Click the 'Release' button to save your new version and mark it as 'released' throughout JIRA and GreenHopper.
