Hello,

is it possible to view tasks from different projects in one view (timeline, list, ...)?

Thanks.

You have posted your question in the Jira Work Management forum. Can you confirm you are working with Jira Work Management projects?

Within Jira Work Management in the Free subscription it is not possible to display information in multiple projects in one Timeline or List view. Those views are project specific.

You can use the generic "View all issues" screen (under the Filters menu) to retrieve a list of issues based on criteria which could include issues from multiple projects. Refer to this for more information about searching for issues:

<https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/search-and-find-your-issues-in-jira/>

If you have the Jira Software product installed and you have a license for it you can create an Agile Kanban Board based on a saved search filter, which would then display issues from the specified projects in a board view. The Agile Kanban Board view does not function in quite the same way as the Board view in Work Management projects, though, so you would have to learn to cope with that.

Can this be achieved by using Overviews?

No, it cannot be achieved with Overviews.

Overviews gives you only the Summary, Calendar, and Timeline views.

I actually found it to be exactly what I was looking for.

Through the overview, you can see the tasks in the timeline view for example.


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Ah, yes, in your original post you did mention Timeline as an acceptable view.

The other view you mentioned - List - is not available with Overviews.

It's Irina from Planyway:)

You can try out [Planyway add-on for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221297/jira-resource-management-portfolio-planning-time-tracking?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) to visialize tasks from multiple projects on the same Timeline.

Moreover, you will be able to create a portfolio view of all your current projects by applying the project filter to the original view.

for a cross-project list view, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2458497).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. In a sense, it has some things in common with JWM's native list view - however, JXL comes with a range of advanced features (including support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting*), plus it works in and across as many projects as you want, of any project type (not just JWM projects). This is how it looks in action:

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
