Dependencies report in Roadmap view
Asked by Vivek Punasia:

Hi Team,

In my current version/settings of JIRA, when I refer the "Dependencies report" under a plan, it shows me huge data. Most of the links I see are parent child relationships.

I want to use the "dependencies report" to track only the blockers or dependent items. Please guide on the settings to be done to see only blockers and dependent items.

Also, kindly confirm if the settings will have impact on any other view (mainly Roadmap view) in JIRA. I don't want to disrupt the plans created by multiple teams.

This is relevant to Advanced Roadmap views.

Welcome to the community!

In your dependency view you can filter to only view the links you are interested in

Under Settings \> Products \> Plans \> Dependencies you can control the link types you want to be able to see in the Dependency view. This is however the global setting that affects all plans

Thanks for the response.

Could you please elaborate the impact on all the plans?

Will the impact be visible only in dependencies report tab or it will affect roadmap view as well?

My idea and intention is to exclude child parent relationship from 'dependencies report' view.

Hope the change in settings for dependencies view will not exclude the parent child linkage in 'Roadmap' view.

If you want to LIMIT the global settings to only allow your split-relation you will affect other users as they will not be able to see the parent-child relations.

If you want to ADD a link type to your global setting the consequence is not that great as users can use the filter option to hide issues that matches those links.

I think you are better off using the filtering option in your dependency view in your plan?

In your timeline view the dependencies are represented as lines or badges. Removing a link type from the global settings will affect all users that wants to see that link type on their timeline.

Thanks a lot for responding to all the questions patiently.

One last question - is this option available in Data Center version?

I see only roll up to, group by and search by issue.

Kindly confirm. Thanks a ton again.

Oh, this question was tagged as Cloud.

I don't have access to an on prem environment at the moment, but here you find the documentation for advanced roadmaps, as it's called in On Prem, on the latest DC version 10.0

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/the-dependencies-report-in-advanced-roadmaps-1077915784.html>

It does seem that the features differ between cloud and on prem, and also it depends on which version you are on in your environment

I too observed later that the ticket was raised with "JIRA Cloud" as the version. However, the conversation imparted clarity on multiple aspects.  
Thanks for the patience and the valuable inputs.
