Visual Organizer: Custom Labels, Color-Coding & Views for Projects, Boards & Dashboards for Jira
Custom Labels, Color-Coding & Views for Projects, Boards & Dashboards
Overview
Visual Organizer for Jira Cloud gives you a single, consistent, and highly visual way to interact with your Jira Dashboards, Projects, Filters, Boards, and Plans.
Designed to reduce screen noise and boost productivity, this app allows both administrators and users to classify and structure their Jira environments using custom tags and categories. By offering a user experience reminiscent of Jira Data Center, Visual Organizer is the perfect companion for teams migrating to Jira Cloud who want to maintain visual consistency and navigate their work without the clutter.
Key Features
Advanced Tagging & Categorization: Add custom, color-coded tags to your Dashboards, Projects, Filters, Boards, and Plans. You can also use customizable dropdown fields to assign specific categories to each item.
Declutter with Favorites: Mark any item as a favorite to easily filter out irrelevant data. This helps users focus solely on their day-to-day projects and removes unnecessary screen noise.
Dual Perspectives (System vs. User Views): The app provides flexibility for different roles. Users can personalize their own views, while Jira Admins can toggle between personal and company-wide (System) tags and categories to establish global organization standards.
Familiar with Jira Datacenter UX: The interface is designed to bring back the familiar feel of Jira Datacenter, ensuring a smooth, frictionless transition for migrated users who want to maintain the navigation coherence they are used to.
Flexible Display Layouts: Tailor your visualization to your liking. Lists can be displayed in a traditional Table format (rows and columns) or a modern Card format, depending on what works best for you and your team.
Contextual 1-Click Issue Creation: Streamline your workflow by creating a ticket directly from a specific project view. The app automatically situates the creation context, eliminating the need to manually search and select the project from the standard issue creation dropdown.
Tag and Classification Search: Easily search across all your Jira items using your newly created custom tags and classification dropdown values.

Plug and Play: Visual Organizer is designed to work immediately upon installation; no complex backend configuration is required to get started.
Creating Tags: To ensure the custom tag functionality works properly, it is important that multiple tags are separated by a comma when adding them to an item.
