General View (Signals)

General View is the default Signals view. This page explains how to navigate and use its features effectively.

To switch views, click the tabs at the top to select General, Teams, or Backlog. To display epics instead of issues, select Show epics in the Issues column header.

Use the search bar to filter results by keyword.

Understanding the columns

The list view displays Jira issues with the following columns:

Column	Description

Priority	Shows the issue priority level.

Using the sprint timeline

The right section shows the sprint timeline. Use this view to identify issues needing attention, overloaded team members, and at-risk work.

The red vertical line marks today’s date. Drag the timeline scrubber to change the activity date range. The view shows only issues with activity in the selected range.

To view status changes and development statistics for a specific day, hover over the activity bars.

To open the corresponding Jira issue, click Go to issue in the popup.

To scroll the timeline horizontally, use the bottom scrollbar. Results reflect your selected filters.

To expand child issues, click an issue row. To view details about specific items, hover over their icons.

The following controls appear at the bottom of the page:
