Jira Product Discovery: Create a tree view

Create a Jira Product Discovery tree from Views → + Add view → Tree, then configure levels using existing idea types and connection fields.

Tree view requires Premium. For an opportunity-solution map, the hierarchy is derived from recorded connections, not from dragging unrelated cards into a visually convincing arrangement.

Step-by-step guide

01

Check Premium and the relationship model

Confirm Premium and use a creator or space administrator with Manage Views permission. Have a space admin set up Opportunity and Solution idea types and their connection fields first. A tree cannot infer a missing relationship just because two ideas share similar wording.

02

Create the tree view

Open the discovery space, select Views → + Add view, choose Tree, name the view and Create. Choose Configure levels or Hierarchy to open the configuration sidebar.

03

Define levels and save

For example, place Opportunity at Level 1 and Solution at Level 2, then Save. Goals can appear only at the first level and Atlassian projects only at the last. An idea type can occur on only one level; do not mix fields and types within a level.

04

Inspect a branch and repair the source relationship

Expand an opportunity and open a connected solution. The tree uses available connection fields automatically. If the expected edge is absent, inspect the connection field and its values rather than trying to change the parent by dragging the card between levels.

Common mistakes

Drawing a hierarchy without connections

Tree view is based on relationship data. Repair the connection rather than assuming the view itself stores a new parent-child relationship.
