Creating Your First Structure

The first time you open Structure, you'll see the Structure welcome screen:

Create a new structure - this is where most people will start.
Open an existing structure - only select this if you need to find a structure someone else has shared with you.

The next time you open Structure, you’ll skip this screen and jump right to the last structure you were working with.

Speed Mode or Power Mode

When you create a new structure, you have two options for adding and organizing your issues: Speed mode and Power mode.

Regardless of which mode you choose, most other functionalities (adding columns, sorting columns, formulas, quick filters, etc.) work the same way.

Speed mode

Speed mode is a simple, quick way to organize your issues. It's a great place to start if you’re new to structure or just want to build a custom hierarchy easily.

Power mode

Power mode provides even greater control over how you add and organize issues. If you’ve used Structure before and need to create a highly customized hierarchy, this is for you.

Power mode also allows you to use flex items for advanced project planning.
