Jira - Versions button not displayed on Project Overview tab - jira

When I go to the Overview tab of any project I get five options:
Summary, Issues, Reports, Popular Issues, Labels.
I can create Versions via the Admin tab.
However if I look at an Atlassian project I can see a 'Versions' button on the Summary page.
Tried to include a URL to it but SO will not let me.
This 'Versions' button gives a very handy report of the Versions & a version can be selected to give a detailed report of that Version.
How can I add this to my summary ?
If I add the URL params I get nothing as in
my_server:8080/browse/MY_PROJECT?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversions-panel
We have v6.1.2

Sadly I have just found at that this is only possible for SCRUM style Jira projects. I found this page 'Viewing the Version report' which says it only works for SCRUM projects
Why JIRA Why ?
Why on earth would I not want to be able to list the issues in such a convenient way. Instead I have to create a unique filter for each version.

The project reports such as Summary are not customizable. The Versions tab only appears after you create your first version, which is not always obvious.

JIRA - Is there any way to add "Epic" as a column in the "Issues" view?

I'm using free Jira in Chrome.
I designed my Kanban board so that the swimlanes are the epics.
I'd like to add a column that specifics which epic each issue belongs to in the "Issues" view, but I can't find a way to do this (see photo below).
Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!!
This is a recently updated version of the issues project view in Cloud. AFAIK there is no way to change the columns displayed here.
If you clicked where it says "Go to advanced search" you'll navigate away from the project to the general Jira search page (called the Issue Navigator) which is a view that is not specific to any one project, but you can do project-specific searches and save them as filters. In the List View here you can add/remove columns, such as the Epic Link field, which is what you're looking for.

Change Project icon on Overview page

I am setting up a Project on Visual Studio Team Services.
On overview page, It has a project logo at the top left, it's seem create by a short name of full project name. I want to change this icon to own logo, but I has found no way to change it. Would you please help me let me know can we change this icon, if yes, how can I do this?
It looks like this functionality was removed as part the new navigation.
You can vote to have the feature added back here:

The best answer I found for Azure DevOps Server was to update the default team icon and perform a force-refresh (CTRL+F5). It appears a similar capability is on Azure DevOps Services.
Source: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/comments/960724/view.html
This functionality is rolling out with the current deployment on VSTS. See the section "Custom Project image on Project description page" in our release notes at Streamlined code and work items search – VSTS Sprint 124 Update:
VSTS has allowed you to upload a custom image for your Project (and
default team) for some time. However, this image was only visible on
the settings page. With this update, you will see the customized image
on the description page, which helps to give a unique identity to a
Project. If not customized, you will see an auto-generated image based
on the Project's name.
Take your project link (ex: https://xxx.visualstudio.com/RobocopProject) and append a /_settings to it, on the resulting page the icon will be clickable and editable.

TFS Reporting Service Configured, but unable to see required reports in Team Explorer - Reports window

Can any one please suggest how do I enable below standard reports in TFS Reports (Scrum):
1) Status on all iteration (Scrum Template)
2) Burndown and Burnrate (Scrum Template)
TFS Reporting service is configured following below guideline and Scrum Template has been imported.
https://www.visualstudio.com/docs/report/admin/add-reports-to-a-team-project
But what I am able to see is only below four reports and not others:
1) Backlog Overview 2) Release Burndown 3) Sprint Burndown 4) Velocity
How do I get other reports over here that are listed in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380706.aspx ? which appears to be standard, out-of-box reports which can be used directly.
This is very well-documented if you simply looked on MSDN. I found all of this information by following a few links from the URL you initially provided.
https://www.visualstudio.com/docs/report/admin/upload-reports
Basically, you use the Team Foundation Power Tools to upload the reports.
If the reports are created for another Work Item Template than the one you use in your project then, you might not be able to use the report directly. You might however be able to get it to work with a little editing if it is just a matter of some fields that have other names.
Through the Team Explorer -> Reports click the Go To Site text link to get to the Reporting Services web page. Here you can click the little triangle for one of the existing reports and choose Edit in Report Builder or create a new one by clicking the Report Builder link in the toolbar. I have found that it is far easier to edit an existing report to accommodate your needs than starting from scratch. Over time you might get the hang of it and be able to create your own reports from scratch.

How to use JIRA for traking project issues

I installed JIRA 6.4. I also Crerated Project and Issue in it. I assigned Issue to some user. Now If Administrator wants to monitor isssue status, he can see progress. But how does the asignee i.e the person working on issue update issue status. Actually I am very new to JIRA. Or is there any other plugin for it
Depending on the workflow you have configured for the project, the assignee should see action buttons on the issue that they can click to progress status; e.g. "Resolve Issue" or "Close Issue". These are known as "Transitions" in the workflow and configure how issues can move between certain states.
If you're also using the JIRA Agile add-on, you can create a "Rapid Board" that allows assignees to drag and drop issues between states to create a "Work in Progress" board.
This is just a starter, it's best to run through the tutorials from Atlassian, they will take into account the various project setups that may apply to you.
Also, if you're just getting up and running with JIRA, it may be advisable to upgrade to JIRA Core 7 (or JIRA Software if you require the extra features) as it has project templates/workflows that will make getting up and running a lot quicker.

Viewing issues completed in released version

Is it possible to view a list of completed tasks in a released version?
Yes, of course. If you go in a current JIRA version to your project, on the tab name Versions and click on a released version, you have a view with only the issues of that release.
You may alternatively create a query with the following:
Select from the menu: Issues > Search for Issues
Select your project in the list of projects.
In the blue box below, press Refresh Search.
Select the version under Fix for.
Press the button Search above.
If you need that search again, just copy the link under and keep it in your bookmarks or it as a filter.
