Sub-items get an upgrade

Published by on February 15, 2012.

Today we’re releasing an upgrade to story sub-items. For many of our users, sub-items are a killer feature. It allows them to break a bigger feature into many tasks and assign those tasks to various individuals on a team.

Today’s upgrades include the following goodies:

  • The sub-items status is surfaced as the sub-item’s icon. Folder means backlog, clock means in-progress, checkmark means it’s been marked as complete, and a thumbs up means it’s been accepted.
  • We now show the avatar of the user the sub-item is assigned to.
  • You can reorder sub-items. On hover, you’ll notice an icon to your left that will let you prioritize items within the list.
  • Accepted items are now hidden. You can click the item at the bottom to expose those if you wish.
  • We’ve changed the Edit and Delete links to be icons. Additionally, depending on status, you can now start, finish, accept, and reject sub-items from the sub-item list.

Additionally we’ve added a meta data line that now shows how many items have been completed or accepted along with a percentage of completion for the entire list of sub-items.

We think this is a great update to an often-used feature.

Please let us know what you think!
