Release Board for JIRA extends built-in versions release workflow to allow more complex and more realistic release life-cycle management and tracking.
When you create a new version in JIRA it's release status is "Unreleased" and the only available option it to mark it as "Released". This simplified workflow is fine, but doesn't reflect a real life release management scenarios for mid and large size projects.

When you open a Release Board for a project first time the default configuration is automatically created and applied. It reflects JIRA built-in versions release workflow which consists of two statuses: unreleased and released.
Version workflow statuses are displayed as columns on the release board. By default all project versions are automatically assigned to a corresponding release board columns "Unreleased" and "Released":
Users with project administration permission can configure release board statuses by adding new and renaming defaults with "Configure" menu option.
Release board statuses (columns) are displayed in the board configuration table with some additional attributes like type and versions.
System release statuses like "Unreleased" and "Released" are marked with corresponding labels. Other statuses added manually during the configuration are marked with label "Custom".
Versions attribute shows the current number of versions in this release status.
You can rename already added custom statuses as well as system one.
You can change the order of the status on the board by drag&drop in the configuration table.
System release statuses and those with non-zero versions can't be deleted from the release board workflow.
Once you configured the release board with all required statuses whose statuses are shown as columns on the board.
