Foundation Home

Foundation Home is the root page of the app. It’s where you land when you click Foundation in the Jira left navigation, and it’s always one click away.

Foundation Home uses a split-pane layout:

  • Left pane — Lens library. A searchable, scrollable list of every lens you can access (own + shared with you + shared with the whole site).
  • Right pane — Preview. When you click a lens in the library, the preview shows its name, description, issue count, Sync Agent count, owner, and recent activity.
  • Header. Primary actions (+ Create Lens, Import, and Ask AI when Rovo is enabled) are pinned to the top and visible at all times.

Unlike some apps, Foundation Home never auto-redirects you to the last lens you opened. It’s a durable home surface — always usable, even when a lens fails to load.

  1. Use the search box above the library to filter by name or description. Matches update as you type.
  2. Click a lens card in the library to load its preview.
  3. Click the preview pane’s Open action (or the card title) to open the lens.

Each lens card has a menu with quick actions that don’t require opening the lens first:

  • Open — load the lens in the current tab.
  • Open in new tab — same as Cmd/Ctrl+clicking the card.
  • Rename — edit the lens name.
  • Duplicate — create a copy with a new name.
  • Share — open the share dialog (owners and users with control permission only).
  • Delete — remove the lens permanently (owners and users with control permission only).

Foundation Home only lists lenses you have access to:

  • Lenses you own.
  • Lenses someone shared with you directly.
  • Lenses shared with everyone on the Jira site.

If a lens is missing, ask its owner to add you. See Share a lens.

  • Use your browser’s find (Cmd/Ctrl+F) to search the visible list.
  • Cmd/Ctrl+click any lens card to open it in a new browser tab without leaving home.
