How to configure the JIRA add-on
After installation, you need to click the Manage
and Configure
buttons.
Note: When you do this for the first time, a dialogue box will appear asking you to enter you Receptive username and password.
You will see 2 tabs - one for Receptive actions
and the other for JIRA actions
. You need to check the configuration for both of these tabs.
Receptive actions
This tab is where you choose:
- The state a feature request has in Receptive when an issue is created in JIRA e.g., When the status of a Receptive feature request changes to Planned, then an issue is automatically created in Receptive
- The default project new issues are assigned to
- The default issue type assigned (Task, Sub-task, Story, Bug)
- The JIRA field that the Receptive feature Title goes into
- The JIRA field that the Receptive feature Description goes into
Note: The project, issue type, title and description fields are all defaults. These can be edited on the Receptive side before the issue is created in JIRA.
JIRA actions
This tab is where you choose the status that the JIRA issue has to trigger the feature request being set to Released
in Receptive. E.g., when an issue is marked as Done
in JIRA, any linked feature requests in Receptive will automatically have their status changed to Released.
When this action occurs, all customers and team members who follow that feature will automatically be notified.
Once you have configured both tabs, click the Save
button and you are ready to go!
Notes:
- You can select multiple statuses under "Jira actions" if needed
- You can't select projects with "Epics" as the only type of project
