Quick start Guide, Features- everything at hand!





Managed admin dashboard

Our App Dashboard is the single source of truth. Create, edit and see the usage of all custom fields created with our app. Perfect overview and all necessary tools in one place



Quick Start Guide

Our Goal is to enhance the overall experience for Jira Users by improving visibility, look and feel of Jira Issues with easy to use and configure Custom Fields. We continously improve the app by adding new Field types that help you improve productivity by usability. 


    

Create a custom field


Creating a custom field with ACF for Jira is intuitive. Not as old fashioned as the Jira Administration (which is of course also available).

With our creation wizard there is no hazzle with Jira's Admin configuration. It's easy and intuitive. 

Open the App-Dashboard by navigating on the admin view of Jira and clicking the "Awesome Custom Fields" Button on the left.

Hit "Create new custom field" In the upper right corner to start our Creation Wizard.

  1.  Select the custom field type you want to create. Hit next.
  2. Second step: Give your Custom Field a name and a description. Hit next.
  3. Third step (optional, depending on selected field type in first step): Define preset-values for your newly created custom field. You are able to change or add these later.
  4. Assign the available Screens you want the custom field to be displayed in.

Last Step: Hit Save to create your new custom field. 

Tip

in addition to the simplified configuration and customization of custom fields of this app, it is still possible to configure the settings via the conventional way of Jira administration. We hereby offer a simplified and improved way to use and configure custom fields.


Edit existing custom fields

Use the action menu in the dashboard table to edit and configure your custom field exactly the way you want




Adding default values to Awesome Custom Fields

Jira theoretically offers the possibility to configure so-called default values for each field. Unfortunately, the format in the Jira administration is limited to "JSON" and thus virtually unusable. 
For ACF, we create the possibility to configure these default values for each field created via our app with an easy-to-use interface. 
The option to set the Default Values is located in the Actions menu of the Admin table.

Note

The Default Value required by Jira has an ancient implementation, which causes the Default Values of our app to cause an error message in the Field Settings. We cannot prevent this from happening.
