Tabs

[Senthilkumar]

Hi Team,

why we need multiple tabs in JIRA ( I mean Screen Tabs, were we had different fields)?

What is benefit of it?

Once created multiple tabs how it will work?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hello @Senthilkumar,

My company uses the tabs on a Jira issue to group fields used by people in different roles who may interact with the issue.  For instance, our license specialist may use fields unique to her tasks so those are grouped on a "license" tab.  The project scheduler may use fields unique to her tasks so those fields are grouped onto a "scheduling" or "resource" tab.  Many project management-related apps add a tab for all the custom fields they create like planned start, actual start, planned end, actual end, etc.  If all those were on the primary tab, it would get quite cluttered.

Thanks @LarryBrock that make sense. lets say i have two team, HR and Helpdesk and i have created two tabs for them.

When i create a issue, will it show me all the fields from both the tabs?

It will show you any fields that are included on the "Create" screen for that issuetype.  The fields can belong to either tab.

Hi @Senthilkumar,

I think this is just an adjustment to the presentation. You can choose to display the important fields in the first tab, the secondary information in other tab.

Or you can use tabs to classify the fields. For example, we want to record a bug, the first tab is a description of the bug, the second tab is a solution to solve the bug, and the third tab is the result of the test verification.
