Create an Epic Matrix

To create Epic Matrices:

1. On your Jira Cloud instance, navigate to your Project settings or Project settings->Apps.

2. On the left menu, choose Issue Matrix configuration.

3. On the Issue Matrices page, click the Add Matrix button.

4. From the list, choose Epic Matrix type for your Issue Matrix.

   

5. The Add Matrix page will be visualized, where you can start setting configuration options.

6. Context > Linked Projects: You can link the Issue Matrix configuration to several projects in the Context section.
   By default, the Issue Matrix configuration is linked to the current project only. You can leave it like that if you don’t need to create a multi-project configuration.

   

7. Multi-project configuration: If you want to use a single Issue Matrix configuration in several projects, choose their names in the Projects to link section. Then, an Issue Matrix configuration and panel will appear in all linked projects.
   With multi-project issue matrices, changes to the Issue Matrix configuration in one of the projects will affect the rest of the projects.

8. Type: In the Type section, choose issue types, linked to the current epic, which will be shown on your Issue Matrix.

9. Data: Configure the data (columns, their width and headers) that the Issue Matrix will show. The columns are custom fields from your Jira Cloud instance.

10. Sort By: Set a default order for the data displayed in the matrix by choose one or more fields in the Sort By section.

    

11. Save the configuration.

Issue Matrix allows you to have completely different information in the issue views for different projects. You just need to create different Issue Matrices in different projects.
