Shedule them on roadmap/calendar via specifying Start/Release Date defined so you can schedule them by clicking “Schedule“. (check out our Epics Sync functionality)
All other Epics that are not yet on the board so you can “Add & Schedule“ them
If you can’t find your epic, be aware of the paging below (or check you included all the projects to the board settings)
...
If you want to create a new Epic and put it to the board just click “Create Epic“.
JQL version
If you click JQL version we will automatically outline all JQL versions created on the board but not yet scheduled (no Start/Release date defined)
...
Click “Schedule“ to define Start/Release date for the version to show up on the board.
...
Include them into Release in bulk (if applicable)
...
JQL version
If you click “Creqate JQL version” from Create menu item or inplace adding items to the board the dialog will show up where you can:

toggle on/off between Epic-based and JQL-based Virtual versions.
...
Changing scope of Virtual Versions
| Info |
|---|
You can can’t change scope only for Epics and Sprints. |
Same way you do it for fix version click on the “Issues“ tab to either add a new item or pull existing to the release.
...
Swimlanes by Virtual Versions
On most of the views you can select the way you want to configure Swimlanes.
...
If you select “Swimlanes by Types“ you will get the following grouping:
Fix Versions
Epics
Sprints
JQL version
This allows you create a number of interesting views, namely:
...
Show your Releases (as fix versions) and sprints below comprising your releases. For e.g. it can be PIs and Sprints comprising PIs
...
Show your Releases (as fix versions) and flow of Epics in parallel to connect engineering deliveries and product features.
...
Epic-based and JQL-based virtual versions. |
Packaging Virtual Versions into Releases
Virtual versions could be packaged in cross-project delivery releass as any other fix version.
Once you click on your package release you can specify what Epics , Sprints or JQL versions you would like to add
...
If you practice SAFe you might create Package Release as PI to include
specific versions of software components you plan to deliver in scope of this PI
sequence of Sprints via JQL based versions
product Epics representing major functionality that will be delivered
Hot Fixes or Service Release you had to work on during PI.
...
You can also package it with fix version into release so you have ultimate visibility on the core version and all Hot Fixes or Service Releases produced.
...
It’s a bit of a technology challenge to calculate Burnup/Trends for Epics/Sprints JQL-versions therefore as of today this functionality is not available.
