Power Database Fields™ consists of the app itself and one dependency – SIL Engine™ – a library with utility functions and the SIL language parser. We recommend that you install SIL Engine™ updates as soon as they appear.

Installing

Installing Power Database Fields PRO™ is a standard procedure and is done via Universal Plugin Manager (UPM). For more information about UPM, refer to Atlassian documentation.

To install add-ons you must have Admin permissions in Jira.

Installing directly from the Atlassian Marketplace

If you are connected to the Atlassian Marketplace website from your Jira administration console, you can install Power Database Fields PRO™ directly from the Marketplace. For more information, see Atlassian documentation on installing add-ons.

  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 Power Database Fields PRO™ app.

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

Installing by file upload

  1. Download Power Database Fields PRO™ file from the Atlassian Marketplace.

  2. Log into your Jira as Admin.

Good practice

If you are already using a previous version of this plugin 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.
