Introduction

Don't be limited by a pre-defined export document style offered in Jira. Install BigTemplate and enjoy saving unlimited custom templates tailored to your needs.

BigTemplate has been designed to empower you to:

  • Export all management data from BigPicture and BigGantt to preferred file formats (.xlsx, .odt, .csv, .mpp, .mpx, .pdf).

  • Export Jira issue content to MS Word, MS Excel, or PDF.

  • Import management data from the MS Project or MS Excel file to BigPicture and BigGantt.

  • Create export templates for your Jira issues and all management data from BigPicture and BigGantt.
