JIRA Basics Flashcards
Name the 3 project types built into JIRA
Business
Software
Service Desk
Can you use an old project key that was previously used and renamed?
Example: Project key HATS was renamed to CAPS. Can you re-use HATS for a new project?
No. The old project key can be used in JQL queries, so you won’t have to update issue filters. All associated keys are freed up if you delete a project though.
Where can you set the default sharing for filters and dashboards to private?
Under Administration > System > User Interface section > Default User Preferences
Where can I control who can create shared objects?
Under Administration>System>Global Permissions>Create Shared Objects
How can I hide an Application Link?
After it has been added, go under Administration>Applications>Application Navigator and check the “Hide” box on the application link in question
Who can filters be shared with?
1) Group
2) Project Role/whole project
3) Any logged in user
4) Public (including not logged in users)
What is Offline Archiving?
Archiving a project offline means creating an XML backup, then deleting the project and all of its issue data from your live JIRA instance.
The project will no longer be available via the ‘Administration’ menu or the ‘Browse Projects’ list, and its issues will no longer exist in your live JIRA system.
Note: there is no easy way to restore a deleted project to your live JIRA instance.
Can you archive issues?
Yes, the basic method would be to filter for issues that you want to archive then bulk move them into a separate project which can then be archived online (which means hidden or read-only).
What is the default size limit for attachments?
What is the max size allowed?
default is 10MB, max is 2GB
Where would you go to change the Default Assignee for a project?
Project Settings > Users and Roles > Edit Defaults
What is an ‘issue collector’?
The issue collector allows you to easily embed a JIRA feedback form into your own website. This form is typically accessed by clicking a ‘trigger’ tab exposed along the edge of pages in your website.
What ‘issue constants’ values are translatable?
It is possible to easily specify a translated name and description for all values of the following ‘issue constants’:
- the issue type field (for either standard and sub-task issue type)
- the status field
- the resolution field
- the priority field
What is a Sub-Task?
Sub-tasks are a convenient way to organize projects and tasks that have multiple steps.
Can you convert a standard issue to a sub-task?
Yes. Select Move > Convert to Sub-Task
What are the storage limits of JIRA Cloud?
What happens if your Atlassian Cloud instance exceeds the storage limit?
0-500 users = 25GB
500+ users = 100GB
Your instance will not be suspended. They will work with you to archive attachments.
What is the user limit in Cloud?
2,000 users
How many gadgets are allowed on a dashboard?
20 (by default)
If you wish to raise this limit, edit the jira-config.properties file, set jira.dashboard.max.gadgets to your preferred value and then restart JIRA.
What property setting limits a list of resolutions on a transition?
jira. field.resolution.exclude
jira. field.resolution.include
What property controls who can edit an issue in a particular status?
jira.permission
Example: jira.permission.edit.group=jira-administrators
What property allows you to change the ordering of a list of transitions?
opsbar-sequence
What property translates a transition?
jira.i18n.title
Will sub-tasks inherit the security level of their parent issue?
Yes.
Can you translate Notifications?
Yes. You can translate notifications in the language support section of your project settings: go to Project Settings > Language Support.
