A connector URL has 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 Tableau. 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 Tableau Pro menu item. In this case, the Jira administrator can perform the below steps:

    • Copy the connector and import it into Tableau Desktop or Server through Web Data Connector.

    • Enter the JQL (if required) and click continue.

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