Configuring your JIRA Server Connections
To configure your JIRA server connection(s):
- Go to the 'Project Settings' for the Visual Studio Connector, by clicking the project configuration icon
on your connector window.
To add a JIRA server:
- Select the 'JIRA Servers' option in the left pane of the 'Project Configuration' window.
- Click the 'Add New Server' button.
- A form will display. Enter the information as follows:
- 'Server Name' — A description of your JIRA server.
- 'Server Enabled' — Select this checkbox if you want to enable this server in the connector.
- 'Server Shared Between Solutions' — Select this checkbox if you want to share this server between solutions. This means that you will not need to set up this server again when you create a new solution in Visual Studio.
- 'Server URL' — The address of your JIRA server.
- 'Do not use proxy' — You can bypass the proxy settings for this server by selecting this checkbox.
- 'Username' and 'Password' — The login name and password you use to access the JIRA server.
- Click the 'Add Server' button to save your changes.
- Click the 'Test Connection' button to check that the connection to the server works.
- Click 'Close' to close the configuration tab.
- Now you can configure the JIRA options, as described below.
You can add more than one JIRA server.
Configuring your JIRA Options
- Go to the 'Global Settings' for the Visual Studio Connector, by clicking the configuration icon
on your connector window.
- Click the 'JIRA' tab. You will be able to configure the following options:
- 'Issues Batch Size' — Define the maximum number of issues that the connector will show on each screen. At display time, if there are more issues than specified here, the connector will display a 'Get More Issues...' link allowing you to retrieve the next batch of issues from the server.
