Table view: your session around a table

Table view shows a session as a table. Your team sits around it as small figures wearing their Jira photos. Votes go down face down and turn over together when voting finishes. Table view is part of the paid app.

The moderator chooses the view for everyone in the session: Classic, the room you already know, or Table. The session, its votes and its results are the same in both, and anyone can keep Classic for themselves, so people at the table and people in Classic play together.

Who chooses the view

• The moderator’s switch: the View switch, with Classic and Table, sits at the top right of the session, in Classic and at the table. When a moderator switches it, everyone in the session follows at once, with their vote and the round as they were, except people who keep Classic for themselves (below). Table carries a NEW badge until you have been at the table, or for up to 30 days.
• The first time: the first time a moderator chooses Table on a browser, the app asks first: “Show Table view to everyone?” and “You can switch back any time.”
• Everyone else: their switch shows the session’s view and is locked, with a small lock and “Set by the moderator” beside it. In a window narrower than about 1,100 pixels only the lock shows: point at it to see the words.
• Create and Session Settings: the Room view row chooses the session’s view, Classic (the default) or Table, and its (i) explains Table view. Save this configuration as my personal default keeps your choice for your next sessions.
• Always Classic for me: under Settings (the gear icon), Room view, this switch keeps every session in Classic for you, whatever its moderator chooses. It applies at once, and while the session is at the table your switch says “Always Classic for me”.

A moderator goes back with Classic on the same switch. If the moderator’s issue details hold text they haven’t saved, the table asks them before it switches.

Playing at the table

• Seats: you sit at the bottom, and everyone else sits around the table, in the same order for everyone. Observers sit on a bench to one side.
• Your cards: pick a card. It goes down face down in front of your figure, and nobody sees its value until voting finishes. You can change it until then.
• The reveal: when the moderator chooses Finish Voting, the cards turn over and gather into stacks by value. The middle of the table shows the mode, the average, the spread and how far the team agrees.
• The same toolbar: the moderator starts and finishes the vote and uses Save & Next, Re-estimate and the timer, just as in Classic.
• Issues and details: Session Issues sit in a rail beside the table, and the issue’s details open in a drawer. The estimate scale runs along the table’s edge, with Reference Issues beside it.
• After the reveal: only the moderator sees a hint on whom to ask first, the people with the highest and lowest cards. If your card differed from most, only you are asked whether you want to share what you’re seeing, with Add a comment or Not now.
• Big sessions: the table seats up to 20 people. Beyond that, the rest show as “+N” and the people panel lists everyone. At a big table, Names shows every name.
• Async Poker: Table view works in async sessions too. Each seat shows how many of the issues that person has voted on.

Table style

Table style, at the top right of the table, changes how the table looks on your own screen. Nobody else’s table changes. Your choice is saved in this browser for each Jira project. While you are at the table, Table style under Settings, Room view, names your look and opens the same choices.

• Looks: Study, Library, Loft, Rooftop, Studio and Simple. Each one sets a room, a felt, a rail and a rail light together, and you can change any of them after. Table view starts with Studio.
• Room: the scene behind the table: Study, Library, Loft, Rooftop, Studio or Plain. Each room has its own version for the light and the dark theme.
• Felt: Emerald, Lagoon, Sapphire, Plum or Graphite, and Night once your team has unlocked it (see Team moments).
• Rail: Walnut, Cognac, Ebony or Graphite. Rail light: Brand, Felt, White or Off.
• Still background: on (the default), every room stays still. Off, some rooms drift slowly, such as clouds or dust in the light. If your device is set to reduce motion, nothing drifts.
• Simple table: flat colours, with no room, texture or glow. It is easier on a slow laptop.
• Reset to default goes back to the look Table view started with.

Player cards, achievements and stats

The first time you are at the table, your player card starts, and one line in the corner of the table says so once: “From now on, your achievements and stats count in every session, Classic too. Your team sees them. Change it any time on your player card.” It closes by itself. While a Jira admin has Achievements and stats turned off, no card starts at the table: saving your figure starts it, and nothing is counted. If you deleted your card, saving your figure doesn’t start a new one; your card then offers Start my player card.

Click any figure to open that person’s player card. Your own card has:

• Achievements: they come from explaining, asking, thanking and including, never from speed or from being right. Some unlock items for your figure, such as glasses or a scarf. Items are cosmetic only and never needed to play.
• Stats from every session: sessions at the table, votes, async sessions finished, comments left and thanks given.
• Your figure: its portrait (your Jira photo as it is, a toon or pixel print of it, or a drawn face), its base colour, its pattern and its accessory.
• Only you see: your card mix (the values you vote most often) and the thanks you received.
• Reset my stats: your counters, card mix and achievements start again from zero. Unlocked items stay yours, and your team’s stats do not change.
• Delete my player card: removes your card and everything on it, and nothing more is counted for you. No new card starts unless you start one with Start my player card: it is on your own card and, except while a Jira admin has Achievements and stats turned off, under Settings, Room view.

Delete my player card is also under Settings, Room view, after Hide my achievements and stats, and it works while a Jira admin has Achievements and stats turned off. If a Jira admin turns Table view off for the site, Settings has its own Delete my player card row instead: “Table view is off here. Your card stays until you delete it.” Each one asks first, with Delete my card and Keep it. Your data says what it deletes and what stays.

On a teammate’s card, Say thanks sends them a thank-you, and only they see who thanked them. You can thank each person once per session, and up to three people per session. A teammate who hasn’t started a player card, or who deleted theirs, doesn’t have one, so thanks can’t reach them.

Team moments

Some achievements belong to the whole team: the people who estimate a Jira project’s issues together. Full table is a round everyone played, Meeting of minds is agreeing after a second round, and Hundred club counts issues settled together. When your team earns one, everyone at the table sees a short team moment. Nobody is ranked.

Team stats are counted per Jira project, never per person, and show only once 3 or more people at the team’s table have a player card. At 100 issues settled, the Hundred club unlocks the Night felt for the team: choose Night in Table style, top right of the table. Only your screen changes.

Who sees what

• Hide mine is at the bottom of your player card, and under Settings, Room view, as Hide my achievements and stats. You can change it any time.
• A Jira admin can turn Achievements and stats off for the whole site on the SprintPoker Admin Page. Nothing is then counted or shown. What was counted is kept, so turning it back on restores it. See Admin settings.

What counts, and where

Counting is only for people with a player card. Yours starts the first time you are at the table, and from then on counting runs in every session on the site, Classic too, until you delete your card:

• Your votes, and the values you play.
• The comments you write in a session.
• As moderator: the sessions you run and the estimates you save to Jira.
• At the table only: the sessions you join at the table, thanks, and a few things the table notices, such as opening a reference issue before you vote.

Nothing is counted in sessions shared with laya.net, or while a Jira admin has Table view or Achievements and stats turned off. Nothing is counted for people without a player card, such as people who haven’t been at the table yet or who deleted their card, though their votes still add to their team’s counts, which never name anyone.

Reactions

• Six positive reactions sit in the corner of the table: thumbs up, clap, idea, coffee break, heart and thinking. A reaction shows above your own figure for 2 seconds and is never aimed at anyone. You can send one every 2 seconds.
• Reactions go only to the people at the table and are never stored.

The confidence poll

After the reveal in a Poker session, the table asks a quick confidence check, such as “How sure are we about 5?”, with Confident and Unsure. Your answer shows on your figure, and you can change it. The table counts the answers of the people at the table, for example “3 of 4 at the table answered”. People in Classic aren’t asked. A re-estimate starts the check again.

Reduced motion and Classic

• If your device is set to reduce motion, the table makes every change instantly, the reveal too.
• Screen readers hear the seats as a list, starting with you and going clockwise, with one short announcement for each event, such as the reveal.
• SprintPoker has no separate List view: Classic is the plain view of the same session, and Always Classic for me, under Settings, Room view, keeps it for you in every session.

On SprintPoker Free

Table view is part of the paid app. On SprintPoker Free, every place the paid app offers it shows Classic selected and Table locked: the View switch at the top of a session, Room view when you create a session or in Session Settings, and Settings, Room view. Point at Table, tap it or move to it with Tab to see “Table view is available in Pro.” with an Upgrade to Pro link (in Settings, Room view, the line shows under Table). What’s New shows Table view’s entry with the same line. Nothing changes in the free app’s sessions.

Sessions shared with laya.net

In a session shared with laya.net, the moderator chooses the view as in any other session, with the View switch or the Room view row. At the table, figures, player cards and reactions show, but there is no confidence poll or Say thanks, and nothing is counted. People in the session on laya.net see laya.net’s own room, without the reactions.

Your data

Your player card, your team’s table and your answers to the confidence poll are kept on our servers (your poll answers with the session). Reactions, and who is at the table right now, are never stored. The trust page lists what each one holds and who sees it.

Delete my player card deletes your card, your place in team tables and your answers to the confidence poll, on this Jira site. It keeps only a note that you chose to have no card (your account id and the date), so no new card starts by itself; Start my player card removes the note. Your votes and comments stay in their sessions, and your team’s counts stay, since they never name anyone.

If your Atlassian account is closed, Atlassian’s personal data reporting tells the app, and your player card, your poll answers and that note are deleted.
