User configuration

The project mapping User section allows specific Jira field values (e.g. Reporter, Assignee) to have default values overridden.

For instance, the reporter field can be set, allowing the selected user account to be used as the default reporter, as opposed to the default reporter configured in your Jira project.

 

Reporter Name

By default, JEMHC uses the sender address or the JEMHC Application User as the reporter. This option allows you to configure the user to use as the reporter when the sender is not a Jira user. If the sender is a Jira user then that matching user will be used.

Assign User Strategy

The strategy used to set the Assignee user can select the following options:

  • Default Assignee (Default) - Uses the default Assignee in the Jira Project settings.

  • Assign to first recipient - The assignee will be the first recipient found from the incoming email (regardless of the recipient header used)

  • Assign to first To: recipient - The assignee will be the first recipient found from the incoming email in the ‘To’ header

  • Assign to first Cc: recipient - The assignee will be the first recipient found from the incoming email in the ‘Cc’ header

  • Assign to reporter - The assignee will be the reporter value (if applicable) based on the sender address, or the ‘reporter name’ setting above.

 

Assignee Name

A default Assignee can be configured to override Jira’s default Assignee in your project settings.
