Besides SIL Excel Reporting itself, there are also two dependencies, two complementary apps that are installed with it:

  • SIL Engine™ – a library having countless utility routines, but most importantly, it contains a SIL language parser. 
  • warden – licensing support for several our apps

Installing via Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager

If you are connected to the Atlassian Marketplace website from your Jira administration console, you can install our apps directly from the Marketplace. For more information, see Installing add-ons and Universal Plugin Manager pages.

  1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  2. In the cog wheel menu, go to Add-ons.
  3. In the search field of the Find new add-ons section, search for "SIL Excel Reporting™".

This installation method is the quickest way. You can also install by file upload, as described in the next section.

Installing by file upload

It might seem more complicated but a manual install is quite easy to do. After all, all you have to do is to copy certain files. Here's how.

  1. Download the SIL Excel Reporting™ file from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  2. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  3. From Jira administration console, click the Manage add-ons link.
  4. Click Upload add-on and select the file you downloaded, and click Upload.

Good practice

If you are already using a previous version of this app and you are installing a new one, please clear the cache of your browser after the installation to avoid errors due to the javascript changes.

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

SIL Excel Reporting 1.5.x versions are compatible with Jira 6.x and 1.6.x / 2.0.x  versions are compatible with Jira 7.x.

If you have installed an incompatible version, perform the following steps:

  1. Uninstall warden.
  2. Uninstall SIL Engine™.
  3. Uninstall SIL Excel Reporting™.

  4. Install a version of SIL Excel Reporting™ that is compatible with your Jira version.
    SIL Engine™ and warden should now have the right versions as well.

    After you uninstall katl-commons and warden, certain apps may remain disabled, so you may need to re-enable them manually.
