Creating Groups to Structure the Issues in your Project

Our Cloud Help Center has a new home at https://help.tempo.io/cloud/ Open We will no longer be updating Cloud documentation in this space, so please be sure to check the new site for the latest documentation and learning content.

You can organize the Jira issues and epics that make up your project scope into groups. This lets you see your project in a higher-level structure that reflects your needs and preferences. This is especially useful when you wish to see total costs for a group of related issues, such as per department, per job role, or per milestone.

When you create a group, you are simply creating a 'container' into which you can move Jira issues. You can also drag groups and issues dynamically to reorder them, and move issues from one group to another.

Each group header shows you the total number of issues in the group, and total cost and time spent. You can expand and collapse groups to show or hide details.

When you export your project data to a CSV file, the group information is included.

To create a group and move issues into groups:

1. Click Groupings in the upper-right, then select Create Group and enter a name for the group. You can edit the group name inline. 

2. Add Jira issues to the group:
