Small wins, big impact
We fixed the highest voted for bug!
Jira Service Desk has this cool feature where agents can share a request with everyone in an organization, by adding a special 'custom field' when they create an issue. But service desk agents have been scratching their heads for a while now, wondering why the Organizations field doesn't show, even though Jira is telling them it should be
Well we fixed it. Agents will now see, and can add, the Organizations field to their issues with just the tick of a small check box.
New events in the audit log
With the end of financial year quickly approaching, we're big on audits. You can now check who created a new issue type, and who enabled/disabled the global settings - "Allow unassigned issues".
Help us improve your docs
The writers here at Atlassian are working hard on improving your docs so that we bring you the right content, at the right time, to help you get s#@t done. But we know we can do better.
If there’s a problem page, a missing page or a page that’s so awesome you’ve printed it out and put it on your fridge, then we want to know about it. Head on over to the Jira Service Desk Server docs, use the prompts at the bottom of any page and tell us how you really feel.
Get ready for archiving projects
We know that big teams often mean lots of projects, which can leave your Jira instance untidy and slow down search. Project archiving will help solve all of that.
Our neighbours in Jira Software and Core have it, and in the not too distant future, Jira Service Desk will be announcing project archiving too! We’re busy dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s to ensure our customers get the experience they deserve.
