Jira® Integration
With the Jira integration in ALEAS Board, you can easily connect your Jira instance and enable Jira sync on a per-board basis. Changes are synchronized bidirectionally.
Setup: Please note that the Jira integration must first be configured within your organization’s environment before boards can be linked to Jira. The ALEAS Board Jira® HotSync works for Jira on-premise versions as well as the cloud version. For more information on how to enable HotSync for Jira please contact our software team.
Permissioning: The Jira sync includes strict permissioning. Users can only edit, import or export Jira connected sticky notes if they have the necessary permissions.
Jira activation per board: The Jira synchronization can be activated or de-activated by the board admin for each board in the Dashboard (via the Jira button on the board tile). A blue button means Jira is active.
Authentication process: Only one Jira login is necessary when accessing ALEAS Board for the first time, the credentials will then be saved for every future login across all boards.
The board admin can activate the Jira status sync for the board. When the status sync is set to “active”, a configuration dialog will appear, where the board admin can individually assign the Jira statuses to the respective ALEAS Board sticky statuses. Subsequently, the defined statuses will be synchronized in both directions.
By clicking on the Jira-button in the menu bar of your IntelliSticky you will be able to export IntelliStickies to Jira. From each IntelliSticky a new Jira Issue will be created. The Reporter (user who created the sticky) and the Assignee (Sticky Owner) are exported automatically.
In the dropdown menu next to the board title in the top-left corner, you’ll find the “Import Jira Issues” feature. It allows you to import Jira issues directly into ALEAS Board, including the following fields: Project, Issue Type, Reporter, Status, Components, Assignee, Due Date, Task Key, and Summary.
You can import multiple Jira issues at the same time. Each Jira issue is converted into a sticky.
You have the option to apply various filters to narrow down Jira projects and issues. Using the “Save Pre-Filter” button (top right), you can save your preferred filter settings.
A Jira filter is available in the filter bar.
-
Click once: Displays all Jira-linked stickies and opens the full-text search (searches across all Jira properties).
-
Click twice: Filters all stickies that are not linked to Jira.
