Jira project import

As "Organization Manager", you can import an Atlassian Jira project as a product.

Create a Personal Access Token in Jira​

To import a Jira project, you'll need a Jira Personal Access Token. Please refer to the Jira documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html.

The import will be executed with your Jira access, so make sure you have full read permissions on the project you want to import.

Import a project​

Go to your organization's product list (Home / Your organization / Products) and click on the "Import products" button.

You'll need to enter the Jira URL, your user ID and a Personal Access Token.

Once you've entered your login details, click on the "Upload products" button. Optera.io will display a list of all Jira projects to which you have access. You can import the projects and define the name, prefix and mode of the product to be created.
