Jira Cloud for Excel - compliance questions

Question

Hi, I got some questions back regarding compliance for using this add on. I was hoping someone might know and answer or two, because I am at a loss.

* How does the connection between Office 365 and Jira get established? 
* Will the Add-In consume any Office 365 pemissions? 
* Is this a persistent connection? 
* Does the connection require use of the Graph API?
* Does it work with multiple instances of Jira?
* Does it work with installed instances of Jira?

Any help or if someone can point me in the right direction is appreciated.

Hi @Daniel Hansson ,

If you are looking for a 2 way communication (edit and create new issues from within Excel) our Excel 365 Connector will get the job done.

Here you can see how easy it is on Cloud to install, set up and start using the app: Getting started videos

Cheers,
Łukasz

Hi @Daniel Hansson

The Excel exporter app, Better Excel Exporter's cloud version will soon be released and currently, I'm looking for early access program participants with real-world use cases for Excel exporting and reporting from Jira.

It won't be a Microsoft Excel add-in, but a native Jira Cloud app, promising reliability, no dependency on Microsoft's infrastructure, more exportable data, templating/scripting, and more.

Please drop me a quick email at levente.szabo@midori-global.com if you are ready to give Better Excel Exporter Cloud a try!

Hi Nic, thank you for your response.

I was honestly relaying the questions I got from my compliance guy, I feel somewhat better that not only I was confused. I just thought I didn't speak the lingo.

Your responses for 1-4 are great and I will ask the guy to clarify.

Many thanks once again!
