Overview of this book

JIRA 7 Administration Cookbook, Second Edition covers all the new major features that provide better prioritizing capabilities, enhanced visibility, and the ability to customize JIRA application to meet your needs. We start by upgrading your existing JIRA instance and working through tasks you can perform at the server level to better maintain it. We then delve deep into adapting JIRA to your organization's needs, starting with the visual elements of setting up custom forms to capturing important data with custom fields and screens, and moving on to ensuring data integrity through defining field behaviors. You'll gain insights into JIRA's e-mail capabilities, including managing outgoing e-mail rules and processing incoming e-mails for automated issue creation. The book contains tips and tricks that will make things easier for you as administrators, such as running scripts to automate tasks, getting easy access to logs, and working with tools to troubleshoot problems. The book concludes with a chapter on JIRA Service Desk, which will enable you to set up and customize your own support portal, work with internal teams to solve problems, and achieve optimized services with SLA.

Preface

Setting up a project-specific from e-mail address


By default, all notifications sent from JIRA will have the same From address, configured as a part of the outgoing mail server. However, it is possible to override this at the project level, so each project can have its own From address. This can be very useful if you want to let users reply directly to notifications, and have the reply added as a comment.

How to do it...

Proceed with the following steps to set up a project-specific From address:

  1. Browse to the project from which you want to set up a specific From address.

  2. Click on the Administration tab.

  3. Click on the pencil (edit) icon for the Email in Notifications section.

  4. Enter the e-mail address dedicated to the project.

  5. Click on Update to apply the changes.

Note

You can revert to the default values by leaving the field blank.
