On this page:


The workflow viewer filters all the JIRA configuration and displays scripts and screens that project / issue type combination, showing you what will happen for a given issue in that project on that issue type.

To get access to Workflow Viewer, you have to be an administrator; the tool can be found in the Add-OnsKepler Tools → Workflow Viewer.


Transitions

Navigate to Administration Page Administration -> Add-ons -> Workflow Viewer.



You can choose the JIRA project to see the associated workflows, including draft workflows (if any), for each issue type associated OR you can choose directly the workflows or draft workflows to display all information about.


The report will look like this:


You can switch between the published and draft workflow (if a draft exists). Increated is a pseudo-state we introduced for symmetry reasons (start transition to first state).


Columns are:

  • Transition -  the name of the transition, the initial step name and destination step name will be displayed  
  • Screen - the screen  that transition have associated. An screen can contain multiple tabs and the information displayed contains all input data, e.g. Custom Fields names and the associated IDs
  • Conditions - the text representation of the conditions tree including SIL Conditions and their path information
  • Validators - the list of validators on the current transition, including SIL Validators and their path information
  • Post functions - the list of post functions on the current transition, including SIL post-functions and their path information


Following the links to your SIL programs will open up the SIL Manager, selecting that particular SIL program.


Screens


Screens, both on the transition view above and the standard screens you define for a given project are tailored for the selected issue type. In other words, you will see only the fields the user is able to access in that workflow, for that issue type. If your field is missing from the screen, check your field configuration. Screens also show the tab where the field appears.


At the end of the report you'll find the additional information about the Validators, Conditions and Post Functions present in the edit or view screens included in the issue screen scheme, associated to the current issue type:


Info

If there is no project selected for workflow viewer, then there will be no associated issue type to a given workflow. So there will be no such issue screen scheme associated and the information about the edit or view screen will be missing.

Workflow Viewer has been greatly simplified in version 4.0. We love the simplicity of the usage now and we believe we have increased its utility. We're happy to receive feedback on this!
