Bold BI dashboard designer supports connecting Jira web services through REST API.
To configure the Jira data source, follow the below steps:
Click the Data Sources button in the configuration panel to add a new data connection.
Click CREATE NEW to launch a new connection from the connection panel.
Select the Jira connection in the connection panel.
NOTE: You can also create a data source from the home page by clicking the Data Sources menu from left menu panel and Create Data Source from the data sources page.
Once you click the data source, the NEW DATA SOURCE configuration panel opens. Follow the below steps to create Jira data source.
You can also edit the connection information set here using the Edit Connection option.
Enter your domain name in the Domain URL textbox.
Example: https://<:your_domain>.atlassian.net
Enter a valid JQL Query in JQL field.
Example: project = weather
If you need to add custom fields in JQL filtering, then enable Include Custom Fields and provide the custom fields in enabled text box.
In Max Rows, enter the maximum number of rows to be fetched from the Jira data source. This value is used to fetch the data from Jira data source via pagination.
NOTE: Custom field ID’s must be separated using comma.
Enter a valid URL in the URL field textbox.
Example: https://<:your_domain>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project
Select GET method for the REST API in Method combo box.
Max Rows | Most of the REST APIs return only fewer data on a single API request. To pull the amount of data you need, set a value in this field. Pagination is handled internally and will fetch the amount of data you need. |
Refresh Settings | Period of time before next refresh call is triggered. This will automatically trigger a call for the API configured in the data source to keep the data up to date. If you do not want to sync your new data, choose ‘Never’. |
Replace <:your_domain> with your domain name in the URL.
For instance, to get the tasks/issues under specific project, replace your JQL Query in the textarea.
Sample Domain URL: https://abcde.atlassian.net
Sample JQL: project = weather
List tasks based on status modified
project = weather AND status CHANGED FROM “In Progress” TO “Open”
List tasks based on status on specified week
project = weather AND status was “In Progress” DURING (startOfWeek(), endOfWeek())
List tasks based on resolution
project = “weather” AND resolution changed to “Done” by currentUser() during (startOfYear(), endOfYear())
List tasks based on fixVersion
project = weather AND fixVersion = latestReleasedVersion(weather)
Click Preview & Connect to connect with the configurations set.
The Choose Schema(s) dialog opens. The schema represents the key fields of data retrieved from Jira Rest API request. This dialog displays a list of schemas in treeview and its corresponding values in grid for preview. Select required schema(s) from treeview to use in designer and click Connect.
Now, the data design view page with selected table schema opens. Drag and drop the table.
Click Save to save the data source with a relevant name.
