Document Generation is a Jira app that allows to generate documents and reports from Jira issues via user defined layout specified in so called templates. Flexible templating engine supports both: simple data exports like issue details, as well as complex reporting that requires data aggregation from multiple issues. The latter is a unique feature that is mostly not supported by competitors.
Workflow
- Configure app
- Define templates
- Generate documents based on templates
Configuration
Configuration consists of Jira-wide settings, and initial templates definition.
Settings
Templates
Currently, templates can be defined in Microsoft Word format, Open Document format, or HTML. HTML template can be created in built-in online editor (see the image above), while templates in other formats have to be created in external tools and uploaded to Jira.
Integration Points
- A panel on issue details view
- A button on issues list view
- 'Templates' menu item in Jira's menu
Generation
Once templates are defined, users can generate the documents.
