Unlocking Transparency and Control Over Custom Fields

[#1]

Through our extensive experience working with large organizations and complex Jira instances, we've seen firsthand the challenges that come with managing custom fields in Jira. Creating and maintaining these fields can have a significant impact on database size, system performance, and user clarity. But what happens when custom fields proliferate, duplicate, or become redundant?

The Problem: Lack of Visibility and Control

In our experience, answering simple questions like "Which projects use this custom field?" or "How is this field used across our organization?" can become a daunting task. The relationships between fields, screens, screen schemes, issue type screen schemes, and projects are complex and time-consuming to depict. Moreover, finding fields used in workflow transitions is not even visible in Jira's out-of-the-box configuration screens.

The Solution: Fields Dashboard for Jira

To address this challenge, we created Fields Dashboard for Jira. This app provides a comprehensive and intuitive solution for visualizing and managing custom fields. With Fields Dashboard, you can:

- Easily visualize the relationships between fields, screens, screen schemes, issue type screen schemes, and projects

- Identify fields used in workflow transitions and their associated workflows and projects

- View multiple fields and their relationships in a single table

- Export data to CSV for further analysis and reporting

Our Philosophy: Empowering You with Raw Data

At our company, we believe in providing you with the raw data you need to make informed decisions. Rather than trying to guess which charts or reports you might need, we give you the flexibility to exploit the data as you see fit.

With Fields Dashboard, you can feed the exported CSV data into your favorite data analysis and visualization tools, or leverage AI and machine learning algorithms to uncover deeper insights and drive business decisions.
