Changes in Detail

Progress by Status improvements

We made it easier to configure Progress by Status columns, particularly for instances with several statuses.

• Progress can now be based on Status Categories, so you don’t have to configure each individual status.

• It’s now possible to add all available statuses at once - just click Select All in the Add Status dropdown.

Installation and Upgrade

Installing Structure

If your Jira server does not have Structure yet, the installation is simple:

1. Download and install Structure app, either from the Atlassian Marketplace or our Download page.

2. When Add-on Manager reports the successful installation, click Get Started to visit a page with important guidance for the Jira administrator. You may want to also check out the user's Get Started page, available under the "Structure" top-level menu.

3. Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for log messages from Structure.

Upgrading Structure

The upgrade procedure from versions 3.0–9.3 is simple:

1. Consider backing up Jira data. Use Administration | System | Backup System. (If you have a large instance and a proper backup strategy in place, you may skip this step.)

2. Back up Structure data. Use Administration | Structure | Backup Structure menu item. If you have a lot of structures and a large Jira, consider turning off the "Backup History" option to avoid a long backup process.

3. Install the new version of the app.

4. Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for warnings or errors.

Enterprise Deployment Notes

No special tests are needed, so we suggest the usual testing procedures you’ve done for previous upgrades.
