Overview

As soon as your JIRA Instance defines a complex configuration, the number of Custom Fields combined with the number of different Project Type Types will cause a very large View Field Configuration screen.

When you will access the View Field Configuration screen : 


  • All System and Custom Fields are displayed, even if they are or not marked as Visible,
 


  • For each of this Fields, the screens where it is used will be listed,

 

Enhancement

Alkaes JIRA Plugin Field Administration Enhanced provides 2 axis of enhancement :

  • Graphical enhancement in order to simplify the way to navigate in list of Fields
  • Some additional operation to help you in the configuration.

Enhancements

Hide in others operation allows you to hide the field in all others Field Configuration excepted the current one.

Warning

Take care ... If your instance has a too large number of Field Configuration, the request of this operation may fall in timeout. In such case, you will have to follow the result in your log files.

Exemple : For more than 100 Field Configurations with 500 Fields, the operation takes more than 30 min.

Sample

In the example (on the left side) with a JIRA Instance 5 Projects, 8 Workflows, 86 Custom Fields and 31 Screens, the gain in scrolling is important :

  • When all Fields are expanded, we have to scroll on 11 screens, 
  • When Field details are collapsed, we have to scroll on 7 screens, 
  • When Field details collapsed and only relevant Fields are displayed, we have to scroll on 5 screens,  


Imagine the gain with more complex JIRA Instances.

But before all, it will allow you to have a clear definition of Field Configuration.
