Jira is used for issue tracking and project management. Images and captures in GetPixit can be used to create a Jira issue or update an existing issue. Jira accounts are authenticated and saved in the application for future login. With multiple accounts, user can make one account as primary. Project names are filtered before creating or updating an issue. A link to the issue appears at the bottom which can be opened in the web browser. Jira integration significantly improves the productivity especially for the users who use it for managing issues with image attachments. In order for Jira integration to work, Jira should be accessible and the Rest API should not be disabled. Integration supports two types of authentication: Basic authentication with user id/password and OAuth1a. Other custom forms of authentications are not supported.

  4. Click Test, it will check connection status & message will be displayed. Loads Project Names where user can select any project from the drop down.
  5. After the connection is successful, click Save Metadata, it saves the user details and loads project metadata.
  6. To remove any account details that are saved, Click Remove button.
  7. Click Connect to load metadata, if not already loaded. It then opens the Jira issue form.

Jira integration provides a way to configure default values for the create form fields. In most of the projects, there are several fields which tend to have common values for a project and an issue type. For example, component and environment field values. Sometimes, the user may need to fill-in 30-40 field values to create an issue. Most of them are repetitive and have common values across issues. By default value setting, creating new issues becomes a lot easier. 

Default values can be configured by selecting Advanced Create Issue mode and selecting Default Field Config checkbox check box in the bottom as show shown below.

Default Value Configuration

Identify the field value that needs to be saved as default after checking 'Default Field Config' checkbox. A set of default configuration buttons show up next to each of the fields. By selecting the type of setting from the drop down, shown above, click on the gear icon to save the default value. Next time, when an issue is created, those fields that have default values get prefilled. This greatly improves the productivity, reducing the form filling time while creating an issue.
