In addition to user Skills, ActivityTimeline allows you to create Positions.
A Position represents the user’s organizational role, such as Developer, QA Engineer, Designer, Project Manager, or Business Analyst. Positions are visible on the planning dashboard and help managers quickly understand each user’s role within the organization.
Positions can also be used for planning, filtering, reporting, and creating Functional Teams.
Managing Positions
To view, create, or edit positions, go to:
Configuration → Users → Positions
On this page, you can:
-
Create new positions
-
Edit existing positions
-
Review position-related statistics
-
See which users are assigned to each position
Assigning Positions to Users
Positions can be assigned to users in several ways.
From the User Positions Page
You can also assign users directly from the User Positions page.
Go to:
Configuration → Users → Positions → Add Position To User
From the Users Page
Go to:
Configuration → Users
Find the required user and start typing the name of a new or existing position next to the user’s name. Then select the appropriate position from the list.
Using Bulk Mode
For larger teams, we recommend using Bulk Mode under:
Configuration → Users
This allows you to assign or update positions for multiple users at once and helps reduce manual work.
Using Jira Group Mapping
Positions can also be assigned automatically through Jira group mapping.
When a Jira group is associated with a specific position, users from that group will receive the corresponding position in ActivityTimeline after synchronization.
