Structure Cloud

feature: Simplified filtering and grouping

We’ve made it even easier to work with quick filters and quick groups - click the new Filter / Group button and choose the filter or group you want to apply:

  • No JQL is required, you can filter by field values or use advanced settings for JQL queries

  • Any user can temporarily filter a structure for themselves or use recommended (saved) filters from the structure owner

  • To change the order of applied groupings simply rearrange them on the panel

feature: Share your formulas across the organization with ease

Do you have formulas you would like to share with others or use in different structures?

Jira admins can now turn popular formulas into Global Formulas, which everyone on the Jira instance can use in any structure they want. Global formulas can also be used in generators.

feature: Filter and Group items based on formulas

Build your hierarchies your way with two new generators: Filter by Formula and Group by Formula!

  1. Filter your structures by historical data values, due dates, issue health status, or anything else you need to focus on.
  2. Group your structures by quarters, names of versions, different fields for different teams, or any other grouping you can think of.

Jira Parent Column

Our customizable Parent column will help you gain insights faster - get the status and priority of parent tasks at a glance, without even adding them to the structure!

Jira Teams Improvements

You can now do even more with Jira teams in Structure:

  • Group issues by Jira teams
  • Update team values in Structure, inline or with drag-and-drop

feature: Visualize your structures as boardroom-ready roadmaps

If you’re anything like us, you track everything in Structure. You’ve built custom hierarchies, sum-ups, and complex formulas for calculating status and risks. You might even manage your project plan in Gantt.

But what do you do when it’s time to share all that information with leadership or clients? 

With our latest Strategic Roadmaps integration, you can build powerful visualizations on top of your existing data in Structure:

  • Visualize data from your structures as easy-to-read roadmaps

  • Keep your roadmaps in sync with actual execution data from Structure and Jira

  • Publish your roadmaps outside of Jira for easy access for your stakeholders and clients

feature: Formulas improvements - historical data and flex fields

Historical Field Data in Formulas

Use formulas to tap into historical changes:

  • Find out when an issue was last changed and what changes were made
  • Easily prepare for quarterly results by pulling field values from a specific date - or compare values from different dates
  • Calculate the planned value on a specific date (ex. What was the cost on September 1, 2019?)

To show the history of a field, use the following format: <fieldName>History

History data is currently available for the following fields:

  • Status
  • Story Points
  • Parent
  • Date fields
  • Time estimate fields
  • Custom numeric fields

Documentation: History Functions, Sample Formulas - History

Flex Fields in Formulas

Flex fields can now be used in formulas:  perform calculations and comparisons with your notes, preliminary estimates, and other data.
