Display Fields Configuration

Overview

The fields that are displayed in the project tree view, the reading and tabular views, as well as the Coverage and Traceability views, can be configured to allow users to see the fields they find most useful in a given view. This is done using the Display Fields Configuration.

There are two ways to open the display field configuration dialogs:

  • In the Project Tree view, open the context menu of the root item in the tree and select Configure display fields.

  • In the Reading, Tabular, Coverage and Traceability views, select the item Display Fields in the easeRequirements navigation bar.

Configuration dialogs

The dialogs have two columns of fields side-by-side, Available and Selected. The left column shows the available fields. The right column shows the selected fields. What is displayed above the columns depends on the individual dialog and the item types (i.e. folders or issues) being configured.

The list of fields available for a given configuration depends on the type of view:

  • Tree View: The available fields are a predetermined list of system fields.

  • Reading and Tabular Views: The available fields are the system and custom fields defined in the Jira instance.

If a custom field is not defined for a given type of issue, the value is displayed as “none” in the Reading View and is empty in the Tabular View.
