7. Exporting a package

Goal

This section contains the instructions for exporting a Gaia for Jira package. For more informations, see What is exported.

Pre-requisites

This tutorial was written considering that:

• you have a Jira instance installed and running on your server;
• you have administrator rights on that Jira instance;
• you are logged in your Jira instance;
• you have at least one Gaia for Jira template (if not, go to adding a Gaia for Jira template).

Exporting a template

1. Go to the "Manage apps" menu of the Jira Administration section :

Find the administration menu icon on the upper right side of your screen. Once you click on it, select the "Manage apps" option.

2. Go to the Gaia Configuration page :

From the menu on the left side of the screen, find the "Gaia" section, click on "Gaia Configuration":

3. Click the "Export" button of the template you want to export.

From the "More options" menu of the template, you will find an "Export" button.

4. Confirm that you want to export the template by clicking "Yes".

5. Save the template file (.package).

Depending of the browser you are using, the file might be saved at different locations, but it will usually be located in your Download folder by default. This file will have the name of the template you exported and numbers will be added to make sure it is unique and does not overwrite a previously exported copy of the same template.

6. Save as a backup or share with others.

Now that you have the template file, you can either save it as a backup in your version control system (VCS) or put it anywhere else. You can also send it to another Gaia for Jira user.
