Initial Setup

After the initial setup, Exply requires admin rights to be configured.

Database

Exply stores data in an additional ElasticSearch database, which is managed by Exply itself.

First Jira Data Import

After you installed Exply successfully the first Jira data import starts automatically in the background. 

If you also installed Tempo Timesheets and want to import those data as well, you will need to add this to the Jira Cloud importer. More on that here: Exply for Jira Cloud User Management

Import Duration

Depending on the amount of data in your Jira instance, this can take several minutes.

Just to give you a rule of thumb: Importing ≈80.000 data entries will take approximately 90min.

A data entry can be an issue, a project, a work-log, a workload, etc.

Check results

After the import is completed, go to Dashboards screen and try to open sample Dashboards.

Export to PDF

If you would like to export Dashboards to PDF please use the print-to-PDF function of your browser.

Export to Excel

If you need to export Dashboards to Excel then you can use the export function in the top right corner of each Dashboard.

You can choose wether Dashboard results or Raw data should be exported. Please see the Export to Excel Guide for more details.
