Track what you need
JIRA comes with industry standard fields out-of-the-box, but allows you to customise and tailor your issue fields to suit your organisation.
| Standard | Professional | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom fields Store and search for what's important to you. | | | |
| Field configurations Control the requirability and visibility of fields on each screen. | 1 | 1 | Unlimited By project & issue type |
| Field screens Select what fields are available for each issue operation (e.g. create issue, resolve issue). |
Global One screen per operation |
By project | By project & issue type |
| Field screen tabs Split complex screens into multiple tabs. |
|
||
| Global & user column ordering Define global column sets, and users can define their own. | | | |
| Per filter column ordering Specific columns for specific filters! | |
Security & permissioning
Control access to projects and issues. Share specific projects or issues with your customers and partners. Govern the exact functions each user can perform within the system.
| Standard | Professional | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permission schemes Apply permissions and security across multiple projects simultaneously. | | | |
| Project permissions Secure project functions on a per-group level. | | | |
| Dynamic role-specific permissions Secure issues dynamically according to current assignee, project lead or reporter. Eg. allow customers to see only their issues by granting Reporter the View Issue permission. | |
||
| Issue security levels Separate security levels within a project - precisely control issue access. | |
||
| LDAP configurator Connect JIRA to your organisation's existing LDAP directory. | |
Sub-tasks
Divide and conquer! For when issues aren't enough, you need sub-tasks. Each sub-task is a full issue - it has its own issue type, workflow and assignee.
| Standard | Professional | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-tasks Split a single issue among your team. | | |
|
| Task sequencing Sub-tasks can follow a predefined order. | | |
Integration with existing systems
JIRA does not aim to be an island within your organisation, it integrates with your existing processes and daily tools.
| Standard | Professional | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email Get updates to your inbox (HTML or text), submit issues via email and more. | | | |
| RSS Up-to-date RSS feeds of every search - track project progress in your RSS aggregator. | | | |
| Microsoft Excel View your issue data within Excel - allows your business analysts to play! | | | |
| Remote APIs SOAP, XML-RPC and REST interfaces to programmatically control JIRA. | | | |
