Managing Options in My Work

In Devstride's "My Work" section, you have the flexibility to customize the view of your work items. This document guides you through modifying the table columns and applying view options to suit your needs.

Accessing Table Column Options

1. Navigate to the My Work section on the left-hand sidebar.
2. Click on the Options button located towards the upper-right corner of the work items table.
3. In the dropdown, select Table columns to manage the columns displayed.

Customizing Table Columns

The "Manage Columns" window allows you to select which columns you want to display in your work items table:

• To include a column in your view, make sure the checkbox next to the column name is ticked.
• To exclude a column, simply uncheck the box next to the column name.

Here is a list of available columns you can toggle:

• Item: The unique identifier for the work item.
• Team: The team responsible for the work item.
• Subtasks: Any subtasks associated with the item.
• Creator: The person who created the work item.
• Item Type: The type of the item, such as Story or Epic.
• Assignee: The individual assigned to the work item.
• Dependencies: Other items that this work depends on.
• Status: The current status of the work item, such as In Progress or New.
• Cycle / Board: The cycle or board that the item is part of.
• Due Date: The deadline for the work item.
• Additional options include Point Estimate, Time Estimate, Time Spent, Priority, Tags, Release, For Customer, and Blocked Reason.

Once you have made your selections:

1. Click the Apply button to update the table view.
2. The work items table will refresh to display only the columns you've chosen.

Saving Your Custom View

After customizing your columns, the view will be saved automatically for your next visit. You can adjust your preferences anytime by revisiting the "Manage Columns" settings.

Resetting to Default View

If you wish to revert to the default column view:

• Open the "Manage Columns" window.
• Click on the Reset button to restore the default settings.
• Hit Apply to confirm.

View Options and the Green Pills

Beyond columns, the Options button gives you toggles that change how the My Work list is shaped — for example, whether subtasks are hidden or whether items appear as a hierarchy. When an option is active, it appears as a green pill in the filter bar below the toolbar, so you can see at a glance exactly what is shaping the view you're looking at.

Applying View Options

1. In the My Work toolbar, click the Options button.
2. Toggle any of the available view options on or off. Options you can apply include:
   • Hide Subtasks — keep subtasks out of the list.
   • Line Wrap — wrap long text within table cells instead of truncating it.
   • Show Hierarchy — display items in their parent/child tree structure.
   • Show Duplicates — available when Show Hierarchy is on; controls how items that appear in more than one place are displayed.
   • Show Matching Children Only — limit the tree to children that match your current filters.
   • Include Archived — bring archived items into the list.

Each option you turn on is reflected as its own green pill in the filter bar.

Clearing View Options

You don't need to reopen the Options menu to turn an option off:

• Clear one option — hover over its green pill and click the x that appears. Only that option is turned off; everything else stays as it is. Many of these pills can also be clicked to reopen the Options popover so you can adjust the underlying setting.
• Clear all options at once — hover over the Options button in the toolbar (it shows a count of how many options are active) and click the x to turn off every applied view option in one step.
