The Manage Hierarchies page is used to manage and configure Hierarchies in a centralized way.
Beginning with the 2.8.1 Smart Issue Templates version the ‘Manage Hierarchies’ page was improved and the number of scrollbars was reduced from 4 to 1.
You can use filtering and sorting for the hierarchies on the Manage Hierarchies page.
Manage Hierarchies page is divided into two parts:
On the left side, there’s a list of all the available Hierarchies along with the sorting options at the top and pagination at the bottom
The hierarchies can be sorted by Name, Owner, Created date, Update Author, Updated date.
On the right side, there’s a detailed information regarding a selected Hierarchy: its name, description, tags, owners, action buttons and a set of issues to be created upon Hierarchy apply.
In case of some errors in the hierarchy, they will be shown with red in the right page side.
The Nodes section of the hierarchy
Column name | Description | Image |

Link | Link dialog consists of two sections. The Issue links shows the links with already existing Jira issues. The Node links displays the connections with the nodes in the current hierarchy. | |

Set Issue | Available only for the issues that have the child issues.

This is the temporary change and after the first hierarchy apply it will not be saved. Read more about this function via link. |
