Viewing a Version in the Version Overview

By clicking a version card in the Version Sidebar, the Version Overview appears in the main section of the page.  The Version Overview is divided into a Version Header and Issues in Version.

Version Header

The Version Header displays important metrics for the Version. The following metrics are displayed from left to right

• Version name and description
• Start date, end date and release status
• A progress bar that shows how much of the version has been finished, by displaying logged hours vs. estimated hours.

Issues in Version

The issues in the version are displayed in a list view below the header.  The issues are grouped by epics showing the estimated story points and hours for each issue.  Issues without an epic are grouped together and shown as the last group. Each epic group is collapsable and shows the sum of all the story points and estimated hours in the epic.

If an issue has been added to an iteration, a label will appear on the right side of the issue row, next to the estimated story points and hours, with the iteration name.

The sub-tasks of an issues are shown as sub-rows of the main issues by using indentation.  

The left handle of each issue has a a status colour.  The status colours are 

• Blue that stands for New;
• Yellow that stands for In Progress;
• Green that stands for Completed.

Completed issues also have a strike through the issue key.
