Working with Perforce ALM items in Jira

If your team uses both Perforce ALM and Jira, you may be able to view ALM items attached to issues in Jira and add new ALM items from Jira.

Before you can work with ALM items in Jira, the administrator must install and configure the Perforce ALM for Jira app for your Jira instance. See Configuring the Perforce ALM for Jira app.

Attached items are displayed in the Perforce ALM Items area in Jira issues.

You must be logged in to the ALM web client to view item information in Jira. If you are not logged in, click Log In in the Perforce ALM Items area in the issue.

To view the item details, click the item Tag or Summary. The item opens in the ALM web client.
To view attached issues from a different ALM project, select the Project.
To narrow the number of items in the list, click an item type. Click All to view all item types.
To navigate between multiple pages of items, click the arrows.
To add a new ALM item and attach it to the issue, click Add and select the item type to add. See Adding Perforce ALM items from Jira.
