Selected tables for export
Clicking the 'Plus' button moves tables from the right section to the 'Selected tables for export' section on the left. Here, you can select the fields for export. Check the box next to a label to select all fields within it, or expand the label to choose individual fields. The count of selected fields versus the total available is displayed next to each label name. You can also easily navigate using the Search bar.

...

Info

While selecting data for export, you may encounter ‘As Array of objects in the Issues table' and
'As Nested object’ switches.

  • As Array of objects in the Issues table

:
Nested JSON arrays of objects offer advanced data management by embedding objects within arrays for a structured, hierarchical format. This is particularly effective for representing complex relationships, enhancing both the efficiency and clarity in handling interconnected data. It's a preferred method in programming and data handling due to its organized approach to complex data structures.

Here is an example of disabled and enabled As Array of objects in the Issues table for Worklogs:

  • As Nested object

:
Nested JSON objects are highly effective for complex data organization. They offer better structuring by allowing objects within objects, creating a hierarchical layout. This method enhances data organization and reduces redundancy, as repeated values can be stored in a single, overarching object, thus eliminating data duplication.

Here is an example of disabled and enabled As Nested object for Update Author:

Once all data has been selected, click 'Next Step' to proceed.

...

Note

To activate the ‘Next Stepbutton and successfully create a data source, you must select at least one field in the 'Selected tables for export’ section.

  1. Apply Filter (Optional): Click 'Next step'.

  2. Enter Main Information: Fill in the Name and optionally, a description for the Data Source. Click 'Save+'.
