Subscriptions
This page is about Assets & Inventory Plugin for Jira Cloud. Using Server or Data Center? Click here.
Stay informed about whereabouts of your assets by subscribing to filters. A subscription delivers periodic notifications about assets that match the criteria you define in an asset filter.
Creating a Subscription
There are two ways to subscribe to an asset filter:
From the Asset Navigator:
On the Asset Navigator, run a filter, and click Details > Add a new one.
From the Filters Menu:
Open the Filters screen from the app's top menu.
Locate the desired filter and click the three-dot icon next to it.
select Add subscription.
Configuring the Subscription
Subscription name – Provide a clear and descriptive name for your subscription.
Recipients – Choose who will receive notifications. This can include groups, individual users, or project roles. You can also keep the subscription private or send notifications to your entire organization.
Recipient groups receive notifications for assets they have permission to browse.
Schedule – Configure the notification frequency (e.g., "At 09:30, every day"). Choose from daily, specific weekdays, or specific days of the month. For more complex scheduling options, use Cron expressions (more information available at http://www.cronmaker.com/). Schedule and day period are required, while start time is optional.
If you’re using the Advanced option, please enter Cron expressions in minutes only, as years won’t be considered.
Decide whether to receive an email even if the filter doesn't find any matching assets.
The email notification will look something like this:
When the Notify via email even if no assets are found by this filter option is selected and the filter doesn’t return any assets, this is the email that the users will receive:

Click Save as filter and name the filter.
Subscribe to the Filter:
On the Asset Navigator, click the Details button for the saved filter.
Under SUBSCRIPTIONS, click Add a new one.

Decide whether you want to be notified even if no assets are found by the filter.
Click Save.
The subscriptions will execute at the scheduled times, sending asset lists to recipients.
