If you're not a Jira Admin, ensure you have the necessary permissions granted before starting to use the app.
To effectively utilize Data Processor for Jira, you should know how to:
1. Create Data Sources
For a step-by-step guide on creating Data Sources, please refer to our specialized page. This resource offers comprehensive and user-friendly instructions to assist you through the process.
Creating Data Sources in our app is a straightforward three-step process:
Tables and Fields: Select the specific tables and fields you want to export for analysis (it's mandatory to select at least one field).
This key functionality allows you to efficiently export only the necessary data to your chosen BI tools or in CSV/JSON formats.
JQL Filter: Use JQL to filter and find specific data in your Jira Cloud Instance (this is optional).
Main Information: Enter the Name of the Data Source (mandatory) and a Description (optional).
2. Generate Access Tokens
An Access Token in the Data Processor for Jira app acts as a secure link between your Jira instance and the BI tool, functioning as a password for safe data transfer. It's a unique code ensuring protected access and data integrity.
To ‘Validate & Save’ this token, navigate to the 'Tokens' section in the app's left-side menu.
3. Export Data to the necessary BI tools or formats
For exporting data as CSV/JSON, this function is directly available within the app itself. Once you click the 'Save+' button, wait for the status to change to 'READY' before proceeding to export the file. This ensures that the data is fully prepared and ready for export.
Example for JSON:
To link Jira Data with a BI tool of your choice, use OData by copying and pasting the link generated by the app into your BI tool's 'Get Data' section. Log in with the Credentials (use the Access Token created earlier as a password).
Example for Microsoft Power BI (desktop version):
