Getting Started

The SQL Connector for Jira Cloud is designed to simplify data import into SQL Databases.

Step 1: Grant Permissions

If you are a Jira Administrator

• Grant permission to individual users or groups so they can create, edit, watch, and export data sources.

• Administrators can work with the SQL Connector by default.

Step 3: Create a Data Source

• Think about the report you want to build or the analysis you want to run.

• Select the corresponding Jira fields through the SQL Connector. This set of fields is called a data source.

Learn on how to create data source

• Apply filters (such as project, issue type, or other criteria) to include only relevant data.

  • Without filters, the SQL Connector will export all data from your Jira instance.
