JIRA 6.1 picks up where JIRA 6.0 left off, introducing more improvements that help you get work done faster. Features like the new workflow designer and intuitive custom field configuration, let you introduce change to your team without slowing them down. Atlassian is also starting a new journey towards seamless JIRA integration with your coding tools. The new create branch functionality in JIRA 6.1 is the first improvement, with many more to come.
New workflow designer
The new workflow designer is fast, modern and easy to use. Built using HTML5, the latest HTML standard, it loads instantly and is incredibly responsive. On top of this, Atlassian has added features to help JIRA administrators build workflows more easily — design in full screen mode, snap lines to statuses, select a status to highlight transitions, and more.
Users also benefit from this feature: when viewing an issue, click View Workflow (next to the Status field) to show an accurate view of the workflow designer.
New project templates
JIRA 6.1 continues our work from previous releases to get you started faster. You can now choose from two new templates when creating a new project in JIRA. Get up and running quickly with the Simple Issue Tracking project, which has a simple three-step workflow that is easy to understand; or choose the Software Development project, which is configured to reflect a basic development and review process.
Intuitive custom field configuration
Atlassian has made it easier to create custom fields and put them where you want. Viewing an issue and think that it needs a new field? Simply click Admin > Add field to choose an existing custom field or create a new one. The field is also added to the Create and Edit screens, so you can use it straight away.
Field types are now categorized into Standard and Advanced when creating a custom field. Standard types also offer a preview of the field, so you can see what you are creating in advance.
