Create Organizer

There are two types of organizers: Auto-select Organizer and Pre-select Organizer.

  1. Auto-select Organizer includes all the Jira issues that meet the JQL (Jira Query) criteria. It assesses the JQL when you go to the Organizer View page, or when you click the "Refresh" button on the View page.

  2. Pre-select Organizer includes the Jira issues added at the creation time. You can add or remove Jira issues by Editing the Organizer.

Take one of the following approaches to start creating an Organizer:

  1. On the Organizer dashboard, click "+ Auto-select Organizer" or "+ Pre-select Organizer".

  2. On the Manage Organizer page, click "+ Auto-select Organizer" or "+ Pre-select Organizer".

  3. On the Manage Organizer page, click "Import XLS" to create a Pre-select Organizer.

  4. Make a copy of an existing Organizer and update from there: While viewing an Organizer, click "Copy".

  5. On the Jira issue search page, from the drop-down menu, click "+ Auto-select Organizer" or "+ Pre-select Organizer", as in the following screenshot. The search JQL will be carried into the JQL field on the Create Organizer page.
