The Summary page for a project in JIRA shows recent activity in the project, plus a list of versions and issues that are due soon.

To browse a project's summary,

  1. On the top navigation bar, click the white triangle next to 'Projects'. The projects dropdown will display.
    Tip: If you click on the 'Projects' link instead of the triangle, the summary for your current project will display.
  2. Click the project that you wish to browse. If it is not displayed in the dropdown, click 'View All Projects' — you will be able to view a list of all projects set up in your JIRA instance and select your project from there.
  3. Click the 'Summary' tab on the left of the page. The summary for your project will display (see screenshot below).
    • Click the appropriate icon (e.g. 'Bug', 'Improvement', 'Task' etc) next to the 'Create' label in the top right, to create an issue of that issue type.
    • Click the 'Reports' menu and click the relevant dropdown menu item to generate reports for the project. See Generating Reports for more information.
    • Click the 'Filters' menu and click the relevant dropdown menu item to view issues in the Issue Navigator with the relevant filter applied. See Saving Searches ('Issue Filters') for more information on filters.
Extending your Project Summary
The Project Summary page can be easily extended via plugins. For example, you can add a Calendar tab or a Labels tab via the JIRA Calendar plugin and JIRA Labels plugin respectively. Check out the Atlassian Plugin Exchange for more information.
