Settings

Learn about the app functionalities which can be configured in Settings

In the Settings section you can customize the basic aspects of your Requests page. Settings consist of four tabs:

• Requests availability - where you can restrict access to the Requests page for the selected users, User scopes, and Jira groups.
• Export - where you can set the maximum limit of the exported requests.
• Banner - which allows for customizing the redirection banner.
• Security Level - which enables you to determine the visibility of requests with Issue Security Level.

Before you start, access the My Requests Extension configuration and select Settings.

Requests availability

In order to manage the customer’s access to Requests, click on the Requests availability tab.

Giving access

There are two ways in which you can give access to customers:

Switch off a green toggle in the upper right corner. This will disable all restrictions and give your customers unlimited access to the Requests page.

Alternatively

1. Switch on a green toggle in the upper right corner.
2. Click on Include tab and select your preferred groups, users, organizations or scopes which will be able to see the Requests.

   

Restricting access

In order to restrict access to Requests, click on Exclude tab and select the elements that will not be able to see the Requests.

Note

• Users, groups, organizations or scopes which are not selected in the Exclude section will have access to Requests.
• Users that don’t have access to the Requests page will see a prompt redirecting to the native Requests page.

Exporting

You can set the maximum number of exports each customer can make by entering a number from 0 to 1000. Number 1000 is set by default whilst number 0 means that exporting option is not available to customers.

Steps

1. In order to change the exporting preferences, click on the Export tab.
2. Enter the number between 0 and 1000.

   

Result

Changes are applied instantly.

Banner customization

You can change the text of the redirection banner along with the button leading to the app’s Requests page. The banner appears above the native Jira Requests page.

Steps

1. To change the banner text, click on the Banner tab.
2. Enter your text for the left side of the banner.
   Note

   • You can use the Rich text formatting and add bolded text, italics, and links.
   • Below you can see a preview of your banner.
3. Change the text on the redirection button. Maximum 24 characters.
4. Click Update to apply changes.

   

Tip

If you want to return the default redirection banner, click Restore default in the upper right corner. Keep in mind that your current banner will be lost.

Result

Custom banner is visible on the native Requests page.

Issue Security Level Configuration

You can configure the visibility of requests with Issue Security Level.

Thanks to the My Requests app, global Jira administrators can decide whether the application should verify the Issue Security Level of displayed requests, or ignore the checking and display all requests to the customer.

To ignore the verification and display every request, regardless of its Issue Security Level, turn on the toggle next to Show all requests.
