One exception for excel export is that the available list of excel documents is not supported in this release. This means images can be exported into a new excel document. They cannot be exported into existing excel document.

Applications

Application integration helps to interact with applications from Pixtel directly without requiring to switch between applications to share images. A set of three integrations are included in Pixtel. These are Email, FTP and Jira. Email integration helps to send an email with image attachments. FTP integration allows uploading documents to a selected FTP site. Jira integration is an important integration provided in the application. Jira integration allows users to create and update issues directly from the application without requiring to go back and forth with Jira application in the browser. This greatly improves the productivity of Product Management, and Development and QA engineers when dealing with a large number of product/project screenshots.

Jira is used for issue tracking and project management. Images and captures in Pixtel 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, users 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 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 API key based authentication that requires user id / and OAuth1aAPI key. Other custom forms of authentications are not supported.
