A structure's view settings determine which views are offered to the users in the Views Menu when they are using that structure, and which view is the default. Initially, each structure has default view settings, defined globally for all structures.

You can customize view settings if you have Control access level to the structure – open Manage Structures page and locate the structure, then click Views link.

You can change the default global view settings if you are a JIRA administrator – open Administration | Structure | Defaults tab and click Change in Default View Settings section.

Switching Between Default and Customized View Settings

To customize view settings for the structure, select Customized radio button. The default settings are copied and you can adjust them up to your needs.

To revert to default view settings, select Default radio button.
