Navigation basics

You can use the following options to access JSU from your Jira instance:

Global navigation

The global navigation bar is displayed at the top of our Get Started, My Workflows, Reporting, and Settings pages. If you are already familiar with JSU for Jira Cloud, you will see that it is now quicker to access these pages without navigating via your Admin Settings menu. A Resources menu () provides access to our support portal and JSU user documentation.

Open

Get Started

Our Get Started page is your default entry page for the app. Click Create rule to quickly go to the workflow you want to customize. Get Started also provides interactive use case examples and links to our user documentation, migration guide, and support portal.

Open

My Workflows

My Workflows is a single-page overview of your saved JSU rules where you can quickly see how JSU has been implemented across your entire instance. Click Create new rule to start creating a rule from this page.

Reporting

The Reporting menu provides access to the Execution Log and your JSU migration reports.

Settings

The Settings page is where you can enable or disable the JSU options:

Open

• Show Hints & Tips: Enabled by default, this option displays contextual hints and tips throughout the app to help you onboard faster and make informed decisions. If you need a visual clue when using a feature, click Show Me.
  
  

  Open

  

  To hide Hints & Tips, turn off the Hints & Tips toggle.

• Execution messages: This option is enabled by default for evaluation licenses to help you see when a JSU rule is triggered and when the execution is complete. Pop-up messages are displayed when viewing the issue that triggered the rule. Messages are displayed only to Jira administrators who have triggered the rule. If there are multiple rules executed within the same time frame, a summary message is displayed.

  Example execution message

• Email notifications: The JSU product team would like to keep you informed of new features, security notifications, and occasional feedback requests. Off by default, this option lets you opt in or out of receiving emails from the team.

• Initiating user falls back to app user: This global option lets you set the behaviour for JSU run-as-user when a post function fails due to a permission error. If this option is selected, JSU will run the post function using the JSU App User as a fallback user. The original initiating user is displayed in the Execution Log page. See Perform As User to learn more.
