What is the difference between Accept. criteria and Definition of Done Story fields in JIRA Software

[Ranjani]

There are many fields when we create an Issue of any type. The most frequent confusion occurs between the following fields

1. Def.of Done

2. Sprint Definition of Done Story

3. Accept. Criterias.

Hey Nic, 

Thanks for the explanation. 

My question again would be, there are 3 different fields like Acceptance Criteria where the business can give the business level need. 

Then there is a checklist field - Accept. criterias and then Def.Of Done and Definition of Done.

all these are list fields in JIRA where we could add points as a checklist.

The question is how to distinguish them.

Regards,

Ranjani

What do you mean "how to distinguish them"? 

You have given them different names so people can tell which one is which in the issue view and reporting.  That's the only thing I can think you might mean by "how to distinguish them"

You would usually use "definition of done" at the sprint level only.

Acceptance criteria on a story is a bit more fuzzy.  Some people will use it as the same as "definition of done for this story", others might be looking at it from a more testing angle, telling them what needs to be tested and what the results should be, possible combined with a later definition of done.
