Visibility to configuration details of Jira projects is reserved for Jira administrators. It is not possible to document changes and generate a history for tracking purposes. With the Teamworkx Configuration Publisher from catworkx, this barrier is removed without the need for changes to the authorization structure.

The Teamworkx Configuration Publisher app also creates a compact insight into the configuration for project administrators and experienced users. In addition, Teamworkx Configuration Publisher enables sustainable change management for Jira. The process and project management software Jira has different levels of administration and configurations are not equally visible at each level. For example, in addition to the actual Jira administrator, who has all administrative rights, there are project administrators with limited administrative options for their respective projects, but who do not have any insight into the group membership of users, for example, although this would be useful and necessary for them.
The Teamworkx Configuration Publisher allows you to publish the current configuration settings of Jira projects in a Confluence document and also in other file formats. You can choose to output the configurations of either all Jira projects or only individual projects.
1. Choose from different templates
Start right away with some templates available after installing Teamworkx Configuration Publisher for Jira. Choose the template that suits your needs or create new templates according to the documentation.
2. Create a link to your Confluence area
Once the app is set up, it remembers the link to your Confluence space - so you can start exporting right away.
3. Or export to other file formats
Choose the right publication formats from the templates. In addition to the Confluence Storage Format, the following formats are supported: HTML, XLS, XLSX, CSV.
Create documentation with one click
Due to its high degree of configuration options, Jira is particularly flexible and customizable. However, the quick and easy configurability repeatedly tempts people to make ad hoc changes without any special processes - not to mention documentation. This makes it extremely difficult to track changes made during the lifecycle of a Jira project. Since there is no sustainable change management support at project level for Jira apart from a rudimentary audit log, this app was also developed to be able to document changes on a project-by-project basis.
The app makes use of a built-in standard function of Confluence in the form that whenever a project configuration is changed, the existing configuration documentation on one and the same Confluence page is overwritten. Using the standard history of Confluence pages, changes to configurations can then be detected by simple version comparison.
Quickly detect changes to the Jira configuration with Confluence
The implementation of sustainable change management for Jira is taken to a new level with the new Teamworkx Configuration Publisher. The app from catworkx creates the necessary transparency about the project configurations, which also allows project administrators to perform their administrative tasks in a serious manner.
A time-saving addition to any Jira instance
The Teamworkx Configuration Publisher helps administrators to document complex and diverse Jira configurations and to identify possible misconfigurations. This makes it a time-saving addition that belongs in every Jira instance.
The export functions
Teamwork Configuration Publisher exports the configuration of your entire Jira project or a single Jira project to various file formats. It supports the following export formats:
- Confluence
- HTML
- XLS, XLSX, CSV
All generated content is created by applying templates to the Jira projects data. These templates are stored in Jira's SQL database and can be modified and even completely new templates can be created.
