How to update board settings

[Rudolf Arada]

One of our Jira projects was created as a classic business project. When viewing the board as an admin user, I do not see the button with the 3 dots where I can update the Board Settings.

My questions are:

1. How can I update the board settings to change columns and/or swimlanes?
2. Should I change to classic software project like most of our projects?
   • will I loose anything?
   • how do I change project type?

Thanks

Rudolf

When you create a business project you get a basic default Kanban board that is not configurable. If you wish you can create a Kanban board setting the location to your profile and add a shortcut to the board in the sidebar. This will give you a fully configurable Kanban board.

Hello @Rudolf Arada  , features differ between project types and templates and since you are using a Project Management (business) template this is an expected behavior. See Work with boards in business projects . Jira admin can move columns around - to add columns, you need to edit the workflow - How do I build the workflow I want?

Also, you can always Convert your project to a different template or type.
