Compatibility Notes
End of Support
Xporter won't be compatible with Jira versions prior to 7.2.x.
Upgrade Notes
Workflow Post Functions Migration
The Xporter post functions Create Document and Send Report were marked as deprecated on version 5.5. If you are still using these post functions, we highly recommend you migrate them to Xporter Multi-action post function. We have a page describing all the steps that you can take to migrate. Please take a look here.
Rollback to Xporter 5.x.x
Rollback to Xporter 5.x.x might have a big impact on your Jira instance. We strongly advise you not to do it.
This is because we changed database rules like:
- Templates can have the same name and filename.
- Scheduled reports can have the same name.
- Permission schemes can have the same name.
These rules did not apply in previous versions when the fields were unique. If rollback happens, it can generate a Database error stopping Xporter from working.
Furthermore, when the user returns to Xporter 6.0.0 the migration tasks won't run again and all the data created on Xporter 5.x.x won't be correctly read on Xporter 6.0.0.
Highlights
Exporting Issue History
Xporter allows you to export all issue history. From now on, users will be able to iterate over all changes and all fields changed, including old and new values.
Improvements on Templates Configuration
The configuration related to output formats, default output format and break page type is now configured on the template level.
Important Note
All configuration about Output formats, default output format and default page break type on Global Setting will disappear with this version.
Xporter configuration on project level
Xporter configuration is now available on the project level. Project Administrators are now able to manage Templates, Schedule Reports and Permission Schemes on the project level.
Improvements on Scheduled Reports
Xporter added a new mode of defining the time basis of scheduled reports. "Basic" mode, aims to help non-technical users define the time basis of scheduled reports. Technical users can continue using the "Advanced" mode. Both modes are available to use in Xporter 6.0.
Improvements in Insight Integration
With this new version of Xporter, all new Insight Custom Fields are processed correctly. Some changes were done in order to improve the app integration.
Agile Boards Integration
Project managers are now able to create reports directly from Agile boards. Xporter option is now available on Scrum and Kanban boards. With this new feature, users don't need to search for issues when they want to export issues related to the Active Sprint, Future Sprints or even Backlog. Xporter option is also available on Releases screen (List of releases) and Release details screen.
Exporting requests from Queues - Jira Service Desk
Xporter 6 provides a way to export all issues which belong to a Queue. With this feature, agents or even managers do not need to search for requests on issue navigator, instead, they can export requests directly from the JIRA Service Desk Queue screen.
Exporting My Requests - Jira Service Desk
JIRA Service Desk Customers are now able to get all of their requests printed on documents. Xporter option is now available on the My Requests screen. Template management is made by Jira Administrators and/or project administrators.
