Introduction

The App widget allows access to the app directly from a Jira project.

...

...

Preconditions

Creating a ‘Matching box’ matching box is allowed when a user meets the combination of the two permission conditions:

  • the The user must have permission to create boxes under the Root root box in BigPicture (App Admin admin or Subsub-box Creatorcreator).

  • the The user is a Jira Admin admin or Jira Project Admin project admin.

You can use BigPicture directly from the Jira project screen when the relationship between a Box box and a Jira project is simple - the scope of a Box box is the exact match to a project, and only the project (no other Filters/ Boards/ filters, boards, or projects are in scope. The 'narrow Narrow down' option is allowed.)

...

Info

When the "Own" own scope Box box is a perfect match, child Boxes boxes with "sub-scope " can also be managed directly from Jira.

Boxes that do not meet the preconditions (aren't a match for a project) are not shown in the Box Switcher box switcher (unless they are sub-boxes of a matching Boxbox).

...

A project can potentially be in multiple Boxes boxes with this simple matching setup.

Info

To create a Boxbox, you must have sufficient permissions within the App.

If a perfect match Box box already exists, you won't be allowed to create one. 

If no perfect match Box box has been detected for a project, you are given the possibility to create it:

  • New Box box name = project name.

  • Nested directly under the Home home (Rootroot) Box box in the App (you can later move it if needed).

...

Select a Box box type - available options depend on your Box box type setup. Only "Own" own scope Boxes boxes can be selected (BigPicture Enterprise users may see multiple options since they don't have a limit for how many Box box types can be created).

When you click on a Box Typebox type, you will see the list of modules that will be automatically active (module settings can be changed after a Box box has been created).

...

Click the Start working button to create a perfect match Boxbox.

The Box box is ready. You can create Timeboxes timeboxes to subdivide the scope further and change the Box box configuration to match your needs best.
