How to access board tracking?
You can access board tracking in an easy way from the Links Hierarchy option on the Agile board.
Depending on the type of Agile board, you will see the option Kanban Tracking or Scrum Tracking
How do I use board tracking?
The Agile board tracking screen is divided into two sections.

Results of the request made.
How do I choose the source of issues to track?
To choose the source of the issues, three fields are provided.
Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Sprint/Backlog (Agile Scrum board) Active/Backlog/All (Kanban board) | Issues of a sprint, issues that are in the backlog... | Yes |
Fix Version | Select a specific fix version | No |
Component | Select a specific component | No |
Field “Sprint/Backlog” and “Active/Backlog/All”
Select the origin from which the issues will be taken. Available options vary depending on the type of Agile board:
For Kanban board: there are three options available.
1. Active Issues: set of issues that are being worked on.
2. Backlog: set of pending issues. (View Kanplan)
3. All Issues: all issues present on the board (Active Issues + Backlog)
For Scrum board: available options will be:
1. Sprints: all the sprints of the Agile board.
2. Backlog: Agile board backlog.
Field “Fix Version”
Shows the Agile board versions. It allows working with a subset of issues over those seleted in the "Sprint/Backlog" or ”Active/Backlog/All” field.
For example,
| Code Block |
|---|
if… ”Sprint/Backlog” = Sprint_1 ”Fix Version” = Version-3 then… Sprint_1 issues that have Version-3 in fix version will be taken. |
Field “Component”
Show the components of the projects in Agile board. It allows working with a subset of issues over those selected in the "Sprint/Backlog" or ”Active/Backlog/All” field.
For example,
| Code Block |
|---|
if… ”Sprint/Backlog” = Sprint_1 ”Component” = Component-5 then… Sprint_1 issues that have Component-5 in components will be taken. |
“Fix Version” vs “Component”
You can use the “Fix Version” and “Component” fields simultaneously.
| Code Block |
|---|
if… ”Sprint/Backlog” = Sprint_1 ”Fix Version” = Version-3 ”Component” = Component-5 then… Sprint_1 issues that have Version-3 in fix version AND Component-5 in components will be taken. |
Cross-project Boards and “Fix Version” vs “Component”
Issues from different projects can appear on an Agile board, depending on the filter used by the board.
but a certain issue can only have versions and components defined in its project.
When this happens, fields help to identify the version and component that you want to select, adding the project key as a suffix.
.
Both fields are synchronized.
If you select a version of a project, you can only select components from that project.
and vice versa, if you select a component of a project, you can only select versions of it.
How do I use the results?
A set of tabs showing the Tracking Summary will be displayed on the screen:
As well as the Hierarchy of the issues that are being used:
What is shown in the tracking summary tabs?
The Tracking Summary can show up to 4 tabs
Name | Description | Always visible? | Condition to be shown |

Story Points | Shows the progress of story points | No | If there is an issue in the hierarchy that has story points, the tab will be displayed automatically. |
Custom field | Shows the progress of the selected custom field | No | Have a custom field selected in the "Custom field" filter of the hierarchy. |
What is shown in the hierarchy of issues?
For chosen issues source, it displays its issues as an hierarchy.
For example, if we want to work with sprint “3_2 Sprint 2“
