Overview

The Locations feature in Power Admin for Jira allows you to understand precisely how and where configuration elements are used in other elements in Jira. You can analyze the details of the relations between two configuration elements efficiently. For example, you can understand exactly how a custom field is used in a workflow's transition. It might be used in a post function, and Power Admin will show you the transition and exact post-function.

You can review locations for:

  • custom field used in a workflow, filter, dashboard, or agile board

  • screen used in a workflow

  • app used in a workflow, filter, or agile board

  • issue type used in a filter or agile board

  • status used in a workflow, filter, or agile board

  • priority used in a workflow, agile board, or filter

  • resolution used in a workflow, agile board, or filter

Locations where an issue type is used in a filter and sub-filter.

 

View locations

There is a Locations column in the Usage table and when you click on the location button there, Power Admin for Jira shows you where and how the particular element is used in a workflow.

To review the locations:

  1. Log in as a user with the Jira System Administrators global permission.

  2. Choose the cog icon at the top right of the screen, then choose Configuration Manager.

  3. From the left side panel, choose Power Admin.

  4. On Power Admin's search page, choose a configuration element type: custom field, app, screen, or issue type.

  5. Choose an element used in workflow and open its usage page.

  6. Click on the 

    button in the Locations column.

  7. A dialog opens, showing details about where and how the configuration element is used in the specific workflow.

N/A in the Locations column indicates that location details are not supported yet for this configuration element pair relation.
