# Cross-PI dependencies

<figure><img src="/files/FC2i99SZSNZnPV7xy7OW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### What is shown?

The cross-PI view displays issues with dependencies between different PIs for the selected period. Dependencies can be of the "parent-child" or the "blocks/is blocked by(\*)" issue link type.&#x20;

*(\*) Jira admins can change the issue link type used in Ativo. The default is 'blocks/is blocked by'*.

Issues without cross-PI dependencies are hidden.&#x20;

Programs and teams are visible if:

* they are configured for the selected period, and&#x20;
* they have issues with cross-PI dependencies.&#x20;

### Replan

Drag & drop issues to replan them into another sprint. Click on the expand chevron to update the RAG status or risk/impediment of an issue.

### Filter

Click on 'Filter' in the top navigation to filter on epics, programs (ARTs), teams, releases or issue types.&#x20;

### Issues in multiple PI's

Ativo displays issues only once on a Cross-PI board.

When issues belong to multiple PIs, they are shown only once on the Cross-PI board. Any duplicate instances are hidden, and a warning flag is displayed to the user. Additionally, a warning message appears in the footer of the page: "Some issues within the scope of multiple programs/teams are shown only once."

Issues belonging to multiple PIs may also affect their visibility on the Cross-PI board. An issue is displayed on the Cross-PI board only if it has a dependency link with an issue from another PI and does not already appear on the board of that other PI.

### Permissions

Ativo Programs strictly respects the Jira security permission schemes. When a user doesn't have access to see issues in a team or program, a warning is shown instead of the issues.
