Each connector URL has its own section headers which are helpful in determining and categorizing the fields available in Jira in respective sections.

If the connector URL is already created then please go to the below table for the Section header information.

How to create the connector URL?

  • Log in to Jira and navigate to the global navigation Menu (on the top) → AIO Power BI → My Connector URLs. Follow the steps mentioned on this page to create the Application links. Application links setting up step is not applicable for Jira Cloud

  • Please note that access to the app is controlled by the Access Permissions option, which is accessible only by the Jira administrator.

  • If the group (they belong to) is not selected, users will not see the Power Bi Pro menu item. In this case, the Jira administrator can perform the below steps:

    • Click on Add New Connector.

    • Select the appropriate fields available under the section headers to import the respective field's data.
