Insert Generators

Insert generators allow you to automatically add issues to the structure.

This is often the first step in building a new structure using automation, since it allows you to import specific issues that you can then sort, group, filter or expand upon using additional generators.

Some examples of how you might use the Insert generator include:

• Add all Epics from a specific Agile board (and then you could use the Extend Generator to add stories and sub-tasks)

• Use a JQL query to add all issues assigned to you (and then organize them with a Group Generator or Sort Generator)

• Insert issues from specific projects into their own folders within the structure

• Compile multiple structures into a single structure

Insert generators can only add issues from Structure-enabled projects.

Types of Insert Generators

As you add an Insert generator, you can choose from the following options:

Additional Insert generators may also be available, depending on the add-ons you have installed. For instance, if you have Structure.Pages installed, you will see a Confluence Pages Inserter in your drop-down list.

Always Up to Date

Generators run every time you open a structure, so the list of issues added by the Insert generator is always up to date.

Additionally, if issues change as you work with the structure, they will be added or removed accordingly, based on the rules of your Insert generator.
