1. Install Plugin into Your Jira
Installation procedure is absolutely the same as for all Jira plugins.
The easiest way is to use Atlassian's UPM to automatically install SuggestiMate for Jira
from the Atlassian Marketplace.
This option requires neither Jira restart
nor access to Jira server file system.
2. Generate a Trial License
Immediately after installaton, generate a trial license in Jira interface using my.atlassian.com
3. Configure SuggestiMate for Jira
Now it's time to set up your plugin settings
First create a custom field which will show similar issues:
- Go to 'Administration > Issue Fields > Custom Fields'.
- Select 'Add custom field'.
- Select 'Similar issues custom field'.
- Fill in the details. Set field name, for example to 'Similar issues', leave all other settings as set by default. Click next.
- Select "Default screen" checkbox. Also select other custom screens if you want to see similar issues on them. Click next. Ensure that a new custom field 'Similar issues' is created.
Please note that it is recommended that you remove this custom field first if you decide to uninstall the plugin.
Now you can optionally configure plugin parameters:
- Go to 'Administration > Add-ons > SuggestiMate Configuration'.
- Change parameters. See them in action. Tune them to get the best results for your case. Default values should be good enough to start with.
4. Start Using the Plugin
Now that you configured SuggestiMate for Jira, it's time to start working with it.
- Try browsing some issues and see that there is a new field populated with links to similar issues
- Try creating new issue and notice suggestions displayed below as you type in the summary field
This is it. Use and enjoy.
