Using the Xporter Selector

When Xporter for Jira is enabled for a project, issue type, and user, the Xporter section will appear on the right side of the screen, as highlighted below. To export the issue based on a template, just select the template from the drop-down box and click the Export button.

You can change the document file name by turning on Use custom file name.

You can include mappings in the filename, the same mappings that are used inside the templates, with a slightly different notation: starting with $ and the name of the field. Examples:

  • /jira/document_${Key}.pdf
  • /jira/document_${Key}_${UpdatedDate}.pdf
  • /jira/document_${Key}_${UpdatedDate}_${Status}.pdf

Step 2 - From the menu, select Export, then Xporter for Jira.
