Overview

The reading view displays the items in a tree folder in a format designed for convenient reading. To access the view, select a folder or an issue in the tree and then select the Reading View icon.

Info

The reading view displays images inline, both in requirements and folders. You can attach images to requirements or folders and add links in their descriptions to achieve this.

Table of Contents

Operations

Open issue view

Select the issue key of a requirement to open the issue in its last selected view. If a requirement is included in multiple project trees you can select one of the projects.

Context menu

Click on the ellipsis on the left side of the issue key in the issue key column to see available operations in the context menu, which provides the same options provided in the tree view. See https://easesolutions.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REQ4J/pages/1379991806/Project+Tree+View#Context-Menu-Operations.

Configure Display Fields

By default, the reading view displays the key, summary, and description of requirements in the “Others“ tab; and the numbering, summary, and description of folders in the “Folders“ tab. To add additional fields, click on the Display Fields button and the desired item type tab. Select fields from the available fields by double-clicking or dragging and confirm the selection with the Display button. The selection of fields is saved for the user and applied from now on.

Info

The display fields can be customized for specific issue types in reading view by clicking the add [+] button and selecting an issue type to be configured. Issue types without specific configurations will use display fields for “Others“.

Since the reading view may display issues from various projects with different fields and permission schemes, values for fields with project-specific permission restrictions or which do not exist for some issues are not displayed

Editing

The summary, description, and most fields under the “Details“ section of requirements and folders can be edited inline in the reading view. Note that, while most fields have been verified, custom field types and fields coming from third-party vendors may or may not be editable.

Issue editing and field editing permissions, as well as Edit screen configurations, apply when inline editing. Read-only fields also remain un-editable. Changes applied to items in the detail view are saved automatically when navigating away from the field. Additionally, changes can be saved or cancelled explicitly through the Save and Cancel buttons.

Jira administrators can enable/disable inline editing capabilities in R4J by setting “Allow inline editing“ permissions.
