View Source

The GreenHopper Task Board provides you with visibility on the progress of ongoing versions. You can view all of the issues assigned to a version and their status at a glance, as well as transition issues through a workflow by simply dragging and dropping it.

To view the task board for your project,

Log into JIRA.
Select your project from the project dropdown (top left of the Task Board above the 'Task Board' dropdown), if it is not already selected. The 'Task Board' will refresh with information for your project.

Tip: You can also jump directly to the Task Board when viewing an issue in JIRA, by selecting 'Task Board' from the 'More Actions' menu.
Tip: You can configure your Task Board context and user preferences to personalise your Task Board. If you have too many issues to display on the Task Board, you will need to configure your Task Board context to reduce the number of issues displayed.
Tip: You can hide/show columns in either viewing mode by clicking the 'Views' menu and clicking the appropriate column name under the 'Column Views' section.
