Using the Helix ALM for Jira add-on

The Helix ALM for Jira add-on lets you work with Helix ALM items in Jira. From Jira issues, you can view information about attached Helix ALM items, easily open attached items in Helix ALM Web, and add new Helix ALM items.

Perform the following tasks to configure and use the add-on.

Administrators

Before users can work with Helix ALM items in Jira, an administrative user or another user with high-level security permissions must perform the following tasks.

Note:  Review Helix ALM Integrations to make sure your Jira version is supported. If your team is using the 32-bit Helix ALM Server on 32-bit Linux, any new Helix ALM items will not be automatically associated with Jira items.

1. In the Helix ALM desktop client, enable the Allow Login Via Helix ALM Web command for security groups who will work with Helix ALM items in Jira. This command is in the General category in the Edit Security Group dialog box. See Editing security groups.

2. Install and configure the add-on in Jira. See Configuring the Helix ALM for Jira add-on.

Users

You can work Helix ALM items from Jira issues. You can:

• View information about Helix ALM items in issues and open them in Helix ALM Web. See Working with Helix ALM items in Jira.
• Add new Helix ALM items and automatically attach them to the issues they are added from. See Adding Helix ALM items from Jira.
