Table Features

Filter

GanttTable supports Filter to refine and narrow down data fields and quickly locate relevant Jira issues.

Currently, the Filter feature uses either Basic or JQL. Here is an example of using the Basic filter:

You can switch between AND and OR conditions for a different filtering result.

 

To add more rules in the Filter condition, click + Add nested filter → click Apply.

To remove a condition in the Filter, click the Delete icon.

To add more filter rule, click + Add filter → click Apply.

You can also switch between AND and OR conditions for additional filters.

Search

Quickly locate specific tasks or Jira issues by using the Search feature.

To utilize the Search feature, please use either the Issue key or Summary.

💡

TIP

If you search by using the project key or summary, all the issue with the same search term will be located.

Colors

GanttTable is equipped with a Color mark feature to help you work with the issue structure sheet more easily.

With this, users can quickly add colors to multiple cells or rows in the structure table at the same time.

Locate the Colors button. Then, you can add a new rule to start setting a new color condition.

In the dialog, you can choose which field will be used for the condition and the value related to that field. (For example, in the image below, we’re selecting Priority and choosing the ‘High’ priority as the condition)

You can also add a Nested condition in the same rule for additional color conditions of the rule.

Next, move on to the Format row, where you can decide whether you want to assign color to specific cells or the entire row of the structure table.

When coloring cells only, you will have to select the target cells to make it work. (If you want to color the whole row, you don’t have to choose the target cell.)

All you have to do now is choose the color you want. Currently, GanttTable supports adding color to:

• Background

• Border

• Text

If you want to add another color to the table, simply create a new rule for the Color condition.

However, keep in mind that all condition rules will have priority in ascending order. In other words, the first color condition on the list will be prioritized to avoid overlapping.

You can also freely change the order of these color conditions by using drag-and-drop.

Sorting

Use the Sort feature to arrange Jira issues in the table by a chosen column in ascending or descending order.

Structure Hierarchy

1. What is the Structure in GanttTable?

The Structure provides a unique way for you to visualize and manage your tasks, sprints, and projects in the most convenient way possible.

At default, the GanttTable uses the Jira hierarchy structure.

This structure allows you and your team to manage work at different levels of granularity, ensuring that large strategic goals (Epics) are broken down into smaller, actionable tasks (Sub-tasks).

You can also choose the Flat structure for a simpler approach to managing your work items.

2. Custom structure

You can customize your own structures using your own rules to organize your work on the table based on Group, Total, and Group and total.

You can save this new structure as a new view and use it again later. Or, you can also set it as the default view for other members.

For more details, please read How to create a new view (Saved views). 

Here is an example of a custom structure by Sprints in GanttTable:

3. Using Hierarchy in a Group by Structure

When creating a custom structure, GanttTable also supports visualizing hierarchy for how you group and organize work on the table.

At the moment, you can now choose between different hierarchy styles:

• Flat

• Jira

• Custom

For Custom hierarchy in structure, GanttTable uses the Issue link to visualize the hierarchy among issues on the table.

Its purpose is to empower users to make a flexible hierarchy in the Group by Structure using the issue link type.

 

So, users can build and organize a nested issue system with Jira’s or a special issue link type that users have already defined in their instance.

View settings

1. What is View in GanttTable?

View represents how the app visualizes your Jira issues and projects in the portfolio. Each different view tells a different story based on the settings, filters, and structure of the table.

Keep in mind that when creating a new view, it will have the same filters and settings as your currently selected view in GanttTable.

2. Manage Columns in GanttTable

You can add more (or remove) Jira fields and labels to GanttTable as columns and manage them in the Table:

1. Next to the column, click the ➕ button and search for fields you want to add.

2. Remove a column by clicking ✖️.

3. Arrange the columns order by dragging and dropping.

4. Click 📍 to pin a column and avoid scrolling it away.

3. How to create a new view (Saved views)?

Before creating a new view, make sure that you have selected the settings and structure you desire in the table.

1. From your current view in the app, simply click the View menu dropdown → choose + Create new view.

2. Name this view so other members can recognize it easily.

3. Check the box to set it as a default view for everyone whenever they access your portfolio.

Once done, click Create.

You can always change the default view in the portfolio settings. Additionally, you can delete your saved views here.
