The** **WBS widget (Work Breakdown Structure widget) provides a low-level view of the currently viewed task’s structure directly on the Jira issue detail page. It visualizes the task within the structure of its closest parent and children (if there are any).

## Access WBS widget configuration page

Click the **App settings** button (**wrench** **icon**) in the top right corner and select** Widgets** from the drop-down list. Next, go to the **WBS Widget** tab.

Only Jira and App Admins can access the App Configuration page.

## Configure WBS widget

The widget configuration page offers a few general options that you can apply to your projects and Jira issue types.

### Enable WBS widget on Jira issue detail page

To activate the WBS widget, toggle on the **Enable WBS on issue page** button. This will add the <span style="color: #333333">WBS Widget to your Jira issue details pages. To deactivate the widget, toggle off the button.</span>

### <span style="color: #172b4d">Enable WBS widget even if an issue is not in any scope</span>

The second toggle option lets you enable or disable the WBS widget even if an issue is not in the scope of any box.

### <span style="color: #333333">Maximum issues to load</span>

This option lets you limit the number of issues loaded on the WBS widget. It is useful for large and complex projects whose WBS is composed of multiple levels of nestings and many subtasks.

## WBS widget on Jira issue page

Similarly to the task lists in the Gantt and Scope modules, the **WBS widget** displays the selected issue's hierarchical task structure, offering a concise view of the task’s relationships directly on the Jira issue detail page. The widget also visualizes different fields as columns that you can customize and aggregate.
