Other users who have access to Power BI Connector might not get all data from this data source due to different Jira permissions.

You can select different filter groups:

  • All (by default) - will return all data, select it, if you want to export all existing issues.

  • JQL - Jira Query Language, is a flexible tool that allows you to search for issues, projects, etc. in Jira and pinpoint exactly what you are looking for. Select it, if you want to use JQL to create your own request and filter data.

  • Basic - select it, if you want to use standard fields filters.
