Dots on Kanban board

[Szilvia Szentpéteri]

What do the small dots mean on Kanban board?

We can see several dots on the issues through Kanban board, sometimes these are going to red.

I'm sorry if it an obvious thing but I haven't found the answer yet.

Many thanks!

The dots are representing the days a certain issue has been in that column... as far as I know ;-)

Dear Christian,

Thanks for the information! :)

Dear Christian,

Maybe you can help me with this either :)

Can I change somehow the working day settings? The board counts every day but we only need to count the working days without weekends.

Many thanks,

Szilvia

@Szilvia,

if you are owner or administrator of the board ,

check this link to configure the working days in kanban board :

For people coming here trying to figure out how to add/remove this indicator:

Board -> Configure -> Columns -> Days in column: check to have it, uncheck to not have it.

I looked today, but not seeing it. Has this changed?

How do we enable this in the new Jira?

Did this feature disappear? It was super useful and I'm confused how to get it back.

[Richard Scott]

Agreed...seems like it's gone. Why? :(

[Peter Thomas]

Still can't find it. There seems to be a marketplace app that lets you do this as a report, but the dots on the card were super useful.

The best solution I've found for this to get accurate information is StonikByte's WIP Aging Chart.  It's best used in a dashboard.  It looks like this:

This is a real-world example from one of my team's dashboards.  Clicking one of the dots opens the modal you see above; hovering over the dots will open the modal, but as soon as you move off it, it closes.  You can see you get very accurate information on how long the issue has been in progress.

I wish there was a better answer to the dots on the Kanban board, but at this time, there isn't.  I am not associated with StonikByte; I'm only an avid user.

I'm not so sure. I have an issue that I created this morning, moved through to my "In Progress" column, and it has dots all the way across to the end with the last one red. Other issues that have been in their column for several days are only showing a few dots.

Any other ideas?

Ok with some more digging, it was showing "-1 days in this column" and it appears to be a known issue:
