Scheduling and Assigning Issues in GreenHopper Classic

Note that this page only applies if you are using the Classic Boards (which are no longer being actively developed; read more).

You can schedule and assign issues with ease in GreenHopper. By dragging and dropping the cards on the Classic Planning Board, you can associate your issues with a (Fix for) Version, Component or Assignee.

To schedule or assign an issue in GreenHopper,

1. Log into JIRA.
2. Select Agile > Classic in the top navigation bar. Then select Classic Planning Board from the drop-down below the project name.
3. Select your project from the project dropdown in the top navigation bar, if it is not already selected.
4. Change the Planning Board mode to categorise your issues by versions, components or assignees.
5. Select one or multiple issues (i.e. cards) with your mouse.
   • If you are using the 'Cards' or 'Summaries' viewing mode, click the 'header' of each card (i.e. the top section of the card, containing the issue key).
   • If you are using the 'List' viewing mode, click the coloured vertical bar at the far left of the row.
6. To select a single card, just click the desired card.

7. Drag and drop the selected card(s) to the version/component/assignee box with which you want to associate the issue(s).
   • If your issue(s) have sub-tasks, GreenHopper will also prompt you as to whether you want to schedule/assign each of the sub-tasks along with the parent issue. Select the sub-tasks to schedule/assign and click the 'Update' button.
8. GreenHopper will schedule/assign the issues immediately, as well as update the statistics on the boxes on your Planning Board.

Tip: You can also move sub-tasks from one issue to another by dragging and dropping the sub-task card(s) to the desired issue.

Note:

• You will need the 'Edit Issues' and either the 'Schedule Issues' or the 'Resolve Issues' permission (depending on the 'Scheduling Permission' setting in your GreenHopper General Configuration) in order to move issues to a different version on the Planning Board.
• You will need the 'Edit Issues' and the 'Assign Issues' permission in order to re-assign issues.
