This page will walk through how to integrate K with JIRA Issue Management.
Note: Currently JIRA integration is one direction. Updates in JIRA are not currently synchronised back to K. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.
Step 1) Set up your Jira Project to enable K integration
To integrate into K you will need to:
Create a custom field to enable K to connect with
Obtain key project details to help with integration
You will need Jira administrator access to complete the following steps
Confirm the JIRA Project you want to use
Open the JIRA Project that you want to use manage data quality issues
Click on Project Settings
In the URL field, copy down the Project ID for future use (e.g. the below 10203)
This information will help K locate the your JIRA Project
In the side panel under Issues, click on Types
Click on the Issue Type you will be managing your Data Issues, e.g. Bug or Task
In the URL field, copy down the Issue Type ID for future use (e.g. the below 10100)
This information will help K to configure the integration
Create a custom field
Click on Project Settings
In the side panel under Issues, click on Fields
Click on the Edit Fields button
In the side panel, click on Custom Fields
Click on the Create Custom Field button, select Short Text (plain text only) option and click Next
Name the field K Integration
In the Description paste the following text: “Custom field that K will automatically populate with a URL to the linked K Issue Page”
Search for the new custom field you created and click on Contexts and default value
In the URL field, copy down the custom field name for future use (e.g. the below customFieldId=10353)
This information will help K locate the custom field in your JIRA Project
Note: You currently need to copy the entire text string. We are working on simplifying this step and hope to improve the integration process soon.
Make sure you’ve copied the Project ID, Issue Type ID and Custom Field Name for use in the next step. For exmple:
Project ID: 10203
Issue Type: 10100
Field Name: customFieldID=10353
Step 2) Connect K to JIRA
Select Platform Settings in the side bar
In the pop-out side panel, under Integrations click on Integrations
Click Issue Management
Click on the New Integration button and complete the fields in the New Integration Page
Integration Type: Select JIRA
Integration Name: Type the name that you want to call this integration e.g. JIRA Data Quality Issue Management
JIRA details:
JIRA URL: Type in the URL of your JIRA cloud
Project ID: Enter the project ID you copied in Step 1
Type ID: Enter the Type ID you copied in Step 1
Custom Field ID: Enter the Custom Field ID you copied in Step 1
Click Create
