You can schedule and assign issues with ease in GreenHopper. By dragging and dropping the cards on the Planning Board, you can associate your issues with a (Fix for) Version, Component or Assignee.
To schedule or assign an issue in GreenHopper,
- Log into JIRA.
Click the 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and select 'Planning Board' from the resulting dropdown menu. The 'Planning Board' will be displayed.
- Select your project from the project dropdown in the top navigation bar, if it is not already selected.
- Change the Planning Board mode to categorise your issues by versions, components or assignees.
- 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.
- To select a single card, just click the desired card.
Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.
- 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.
- 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 that you will need the 'Edit Issues' and the 'Schedule Issues' permission in order to move issues to a different version; and you will need the 'Edit Issues' and the 'Assign Issues' permission in order to re-assign issues. For details, please see Managing Project Permissions in the JIRA documentation.
