Checklist Overview

The Checklist sheet is a purpose-built task list that lives inside a Jira issue. It gives you checkboxes, due dates, priorities, assignees, reminders, and Jira subtask creation — all in the context of the issue you're working on.

What it's for

Use case	Example
Sprint task breakdown	The individual steps to deliver a story, each with an assignee and due date
Deployment checklist	Ordered pre-flight steps with owners before going to production
Action items from a meeting	Capture what was decided and who needs to do it before the next standup
Review checklist	Design review, code review, or acceptance criteria checklist
Personal to-do list	Set the sheet to Private for your own working tasks

Key capabilities

Feature	Details
Checkboxes	Mark items complete with a single click; completed items are visually struck through
Due dates	Set a date (and optional time) on any item
Overdue indicators	Past-due items are highlighted in red automatically
Priorities	High, Medium, or Low — colour-coded dot on each item
Assignees	Assign any item to a Jira instance member
Filter and sort	Focus on incomplete items, high-priority items, or your own assignments

Checklist vs. Data Grid

Use a Checklist when items have a completion state and a fixed schema (text, due date, priority, assignee). Use a Data Grid when you need fully custom columns or want to sync values to Jira fields.

Creating a Checklist sheet

1. Click + in the WorkHub tab bar
2. Select ✅ Checklist
3. Name the sheet (e.g., Action Items)
4. Set privacy to Public or Private
5. Click Create

Tip: You can have multiple Checklist sheets on the same issue — for example, one for sprint tasks and one for the deployment checklist. Each is a separate tab.
