Introduction
What is Simple View?
Simple View is a streamlined app for Jira Data Center designed to simplify issue management for users who feel overwhelmed by Jira’s extensive navigation options and numerous buttons.
Our goal is to provide a clean, intuitive interface that focuses on the essentials, making it easy to organize and track your work.
With Simple View, you can manage issues in two straightforward views—Personal View and Project View—as well as a Board View, all while using custom categories to keep your tasks organized with minimal effort.
