Configuring Jira data sources

  1. Select the Jira connector from the Connector section or click the existing Jira connection from the Connections panel.


  2. Click Edit to add data sources to this connection.
  3. Select the objects to add, then click Done.


  4. Fore more advanced use cases like customizing the list of columns or use JQL statements to filter the data, follow these instructions:
    1. Click the Ellipses icon, and then select Add New Object.

    2. Complete these fields:
      Object Label
      The object label. Do not use the same name as an existing saved object in the Data Sources list. You cannot edit the object label after saving.
      Object Name
      The name of the supported Jira object.
      Columns
      The columns you need for reporting. Selecting Get Columns populates the Columns and Mapping fields. Delete any columns you do not want to import.
      Select Criteria
      Use the Jira Query Language (JQL) to filter the result set. You can copy and paste a query from the Jira UI.
      Mapping
      This section is populated when you select Get Columns. To edit the mapping, click the More Options.


    3. Click Save.
  5. After creating your objects, click Import {Connector Name} Data. This extracts your information into Birst.
  6. Click Edit to make any additional changes to the selected files.
Note: You can safely log out of Birst while the extraction takes place and log back in later.
