Optional: Configure a schedule for the Integration. This determines how often the data in Jira is automatically imported into TeamForm. For example, to import every 2 hours, use the frequency of
7200
seconds.
The Datasource can now reach out to the Jira pluginconnect with the TeamForm for Jira
App, and import any Issue of a Type that has been mapped to a Team Type in TeamForm.
Note |
---|
Note: the import process will not find any Issues to import, unless those Issue Types have been mapped to a Team Type in TeamForm. See the relevant section of this document for details. |
Note |
---|
The import process will import all Issues of mapped Types into TeamForm. This includes Issues in the past. Be sure this is what you want before creating a mapping from an Issue Type to a Team Type. In particular, it is probably unsafe to create a mapping from Jira Tasks if there are a large amount of Tasks already in Jira.not recommended to map Jira Tasks, Bugs, Stories as they are not a helpful granularity of work to display in TeamForm. |

Excellent! You have now configured TeamForm to import Projects and Issues from Jira, using the Atlassian TeamForm Integration. |
