Customize your list by adding or removing fields

Select which fields to display in your list

  • All users with access to the project can select which columns to display in their list.

  • If you add, remove, or rearrange the columns in the list view, these changes aren’t saved if you refresh, your cache expires, or you open the same project in an incognito or private window.

Every team has different needs, so you may want to add or remove fields as columns so only the most important information is displayed in your list. You can select other columns you’d like to include in your list. However, you’ll always see the type, key, and summary fields.

The columns are based on your project’s configuration. The columns you choose to display in your list is only visible to you.

To customize the columns you see in your list:

  1. Hover over a column header and select Add column ().

  2. Choose a field from the dropdown to add it as a column in your list.

    1. Company and team managed projects: if the field is already associated to at least one work type in the project → the field will be added as a column to the work item list view.

    2. Team managed projects only: if the field is not associated to any work types in the project → the field will be added as a column to the list view and automatically associated to all work types in the project.

You can also select the column icon at the top right of your list.

Remove a column from your list

To remove or hide a column from your list:

  1. Hover over the column you want to hide.

  2. Select More actions ().

  3. Select Remove column.
