We are pleased to introduce several new features and enhancements to the Smart Issue Templates for Jira Cloud (SITC) app. Ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and streamline project management tasks have led to these updates. In this article, we'll walk you through the latest enhancements and how they can empower you to manage your projects more efficiently.

Hierarchy Structure Preview

Before applying any changes to the project hierarchy, you can now enjoy a preview of the hierarchy structure. This feature, accessible from the Project Side Navigation panel, visually represents how your hierarchy will look after applying changes. This preview allows you to make informed decisions about your project's organization, giving you greater control over your project management.

'Your Changes Won't Be Saved' Dialog

To safeguard your valuable data, we've introduced a new dialog prompt: "Your changes won't be saved." This dialog will appear whenever you attempt to leave a page without saving your changes. It ensures that your important project data remains intact and prevents unintentional data loss, offering peace of mind during your work.

SITC Checklists Module on Jira Issue View Page

We've made accessing the 'SITC Checklists' module even more convenient. Now, it's directly accessible from the main screen of the Jira Issue View page. This streamlined integration allows for a seamless user experience and easier navigation between tasks and checklists.

Preview for Preinstalled Templates/Hierarchies

Curious about what you're getting into? With our new preview feature for Preinstalled Templates and Hierarchies, you can now get a sneak peek before committing to changes. This will allow you to make informed decisions project's specific needs, eliminating surprises during the process.

'Clear Filters' Button

Simplify your user experience on the 'Manage Hierarchies/Templates/Scopes' pages with our 'Clear Filters' button. With a single click, you can reset any filters you've applied, making navigation smoother and more efficient. Say goodbye to the hassle of manually clearing filters, and enjoy quicker access to your data.

Options for importing templates and adding new ones are also displayed.

'Show Empty Optional Field' Function

We understand that having control over your data display is essential. Our 'Show empty optional field' function allows you to choose whether to display fields in the Hierarchy, even if they're optional and currently empty. This feature provides a more comprehensive view of your project data, enabling better decision-making.

Scope Details on the Manage Templates Page

Now, accessing detailed scope information on the Manage Templates page is effortless. Simply hover your mouse over the scope in the 'Scope' table and click to reveal a detailed view. This view includes information on projects, issue types, and groups associated with the scope. This feature offers deeper insights into your project's scope and facilitates better management.
