Associating a Code Insight Project with a Jira ALM instance

Use the following instructions to associate a Code Insight project with a Jira ALM instance.

To associate a Code Insight project with a Jira ALM instance, do the following:

1. As the Project Administrator, navigate to the Summary tab (see Opening the Project Summary Tab).
2. From the Manage Project menu, select Edit Project. The Edit Project window opens.
3. Select the ALM Settings tab.
4. From the ALM Instance dropdown list, select the Jira ALM instance to associate to this project.

The current settings for the Jira ALM instance are displayed.

If no instances (or no appropriate instances) are available in the dropdown list, contact the System Administrator about the configuration of a Jira ALM instance that meets your needs.

5. Complete the fields on the ALM Settings tab as needed. Refer to Fields Defining an External Jira Issue for field descriptions and important information about the fields. Consider the following:
• The Default Project Key field is the only field (other than the ALM Instance field) that requires a value when associating the project with the instance. If a default value is provided, ensure that it is correct.
• The remaining fields are optional when associating the project with the instance. A value that you enter for any of these remaining fields serves as a default for that field when a project user actually defines an external Jira issue for project inventory. Keep in mind that, although the default value for a field might be the one most commonly used (or that you desire to be used) for external issues, the user creating the issue can override the default as needed.
• If you enter a default value, ensure that it is valid. Validation of these field values takes place during the creation of a Jira issue. At that time, if information entered for these fields is invalid (for example, the Default Assignee value does not exist in the Jira system), the information will still be saved, but the user will not be able to create the issue on Jira system.
6. When you have completed the settings, click Save to associate the Jira ALM instance to the project.
