Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
In this tab, you can configure the following options:
Absences are self-managed by the App’s user.
Tasks assigned to an individual are auto-assigned to their team.
Security and access
Only Jira administrators can access this page.
Click the "wrench" icon at the top right and select "Modules" from the drop-down list.
Go to the "Resources" tab.
Absences are self-managed by App's user
When this option is enabled, each user can manage their own absences on the "My settings" page.
Tasks assigned to an individual are auto-assigned to their team
When this option is enabled, the team is automatically assigned a task based on the task assignee. For more information, refer to this page.
From the 8.19 version of BigPicture, the option is switched ON by default for all new instances. For instances created before the 8.19 version of BigPicture, the option is switched OFF by default.
Team member assigned belongs to more than one team, team field was not updated
If the task assignee is a member of more than one team in the box, the team is not updated, and the following message is displayed: Team member assigned belongs to more than one team, team field was not updated.
