Issue Quality Auditor - Admin Guide

Overview

Issue Quality Auditor helps you maintain high data quality standards in your Jira projects. As a Project Admin, you can define “Quality Rules” that specify which fields must be filled out for specific issue types when they are in certain statuses.

Accessing Configuration

1. Navigate to your Jira Project.
2. Click on Project Settings in the left sidebar.
3. Select Issue Quality from the menu.

Creating a Quality Rule

To enforce a new standard, follow these steps:

1. Select Issue Type

Choose the issue type you want to govern (e.g., Bug, Story, Task).

Note: Rules are defined per issue type.

2. Configure Target Statuses

Select the workflow statuses where this rule should apply.

• Example: If you select “In Progress”, the app will check the issue whenever it is in the “In Progress” state.
• Best Practice: Select statuses where the data becomes critical (e.g., checking for “Fix Version” when a bug is “Resolved”).

3. Select Required Fields

The app automatically loads available fields for the selected issue type. Search and select the fields that users must fill out.

• Example: Require “Priority” and “Due Date” for all Tasks.

4. Save

Click Save Configuration to apply the rule immediately.

Managing Rules

• Update: Simply change the selections and click Save again.
• Delete: To remove a rule entirely for an issue type, click the Delete Rule button.

User Experience

When a rule is active:

• Users see a Quality Check section in the issue sidebar.
• GREEN (Passed): All required fields are present (or no rule is active for the current status).
• RED (Failed): One or more required fields are missing. The specific missing fields are listed clearly for the user.
