Key Features of Links Explorer
Traceability & Reporting
Use Case: Teams often struggle to understand how work items connect across Epics, Stories, Tasks, and custom issue links. Important dependencies get missed, reports lack context, and stakeholders don’t get a full picture of project progress.
How Links Explorer Solves It: Links Explorer provides multiple traceability perspectives - Issue Type view, Link Type view, and Tree View - allowing teams to explore relationships the way they need. Its unified, interactive hierarchy automatically maps everything from Epics down to subtasks, including Portfolio-level structures. Each view supports filtering, depth control, and on-demand reporting.
Results: Teams gain instant visibility into linked Jira issues, eliminate manual tracking, and generate accurate, audit-ready reports from any view with a single click - improving communication, planning, and stakeholder confidence.
Highlight What Matters-Right When It Matters
Use Case: When working with large requirement or dependency trees, important issues often get lost. Teams need a way to instantly spot risks, delays, priorities, or specific conditions without manually scanning hundreds of items.
How Links Explorer Solves It: Format Rules automatically highlight issues or cells based on criteria you define-such as status, priority, assignee, or custom logic-making critical items stand out visually in the hierarchy.
Results: Teams instantly identify bottlenecks, risks, or high-priority work-ensuring faster action, better oversight, and more informed decision-making across projects.
Issue Card Configuration
Use Case: Teams often navigate large issue hierarchies but struggle to see the key details-status, assignee, priority, estimates-without opening every Jira issue individually. This slows reviews, reporting, and dependency analysis.
How Links Explorer Solves It: Issue Card Configuration lets teams choose exactly which Jira fields appear on each issue card inside the hierarchy. This turns every node in the tree into a quick-glance summary of essential information, reducing clicks and improving context awareness.
Results: Teams get a cleaner, more relevant issue view tailored to their workflows-speeding up reviews, improving traceability, and reducing time spent opening Jira issues for basic information.
