How to keep your panorama up to date with Jira changes?

 

In project panoramas and multi-project panoramas, Jira two-way synchronization is always on.

Automatic synchronization in a custom panorama

Synchronization in custom panoramas is off by default, but you can easily turn it on to keep all of your issues up to date.

A panorama with synchronization turned on

 

How does it work?

Each time you load your panorama, we will check synchronized issues for any changes. Changes are synchronized in two directions. When someone adds an issue to the epic it will automatically appear in a panorama. If you drag and drop the issue to your epic in a panorama, this change will be reflected in Jira and the issue will be added to the epic.

When the sync icon (between issue summary and other columns is gray, a given issue is not synchronized with Jira. It displays only the issues that were added under that issue manually in Panorama. 

To enable the synchronization:

  1. Click the synchronization icon,

  2. Once it turns green it will present current issues under that epic or story. 

Remember that enabling synchronization in a custom panorama will take away some of the hierarchy building freedom. Read more on that below.

Limitations of synchronized issues

Because changes to synchronized issues are reflected in Jira it is only possible to perform the actions that are possible in Jira itself. This takes away much of the freedom that Panorama offers when building your hierarchy.

For example, it is not possible to place an epic under another epic, or to have an unlimited hierarchy of Jira sub-tasks. It is up to you to decide whether you need the ultimate freedom in building your hierarchy or if you’d prefer to have automatic synchronization. In case you change your mind, you can always disable the synchronization and everything you built will be manually returned.
