Comment: Migration of unmigrated content due to installation of a new plugin

When you Import a structure, you get data about which issues should be in the structure and/or how they should be arranged in a hierarchical list, and apply that information to an existing structure.

For example, you can use a Saved Filter Synchronizer to add All Open Issues to a structure (or the results of whatever Saved Filter you have), or GreenHopper Synchronizer to rearrange issues in the structure according to their rank and epic in GreenHopper.

Info

To run Import, you must have Control permissions on the structure and additional permissions may be required by a specific synchronizer.

To import hierarchy into a structure010:

  1. Open Manage Structure page using top navigation Structure menu.
  2. Select the structure you'd like to import into and click Import link. 
    Info

    If you don't see Import link in the Operations column, then you possibly don't have Control permissions on this structure.

  3. Select a synchronizer from the drop-down list and proceed to configure import parameters. 
    Info

    If there are no synchronizers in the drop-down list, then either none are currently installed or none of the installed synchronizers support importing into a structure.

  4. Enter synchronizer parameters. Each synchronizer has its own parameters, so please refer to specific synchronizer documentation. If you're not yet acquainted with how this specific synchronizer works, please read the Rules section on the parameters page. 
  5. Click Run Import. When you start import, it will analyze data and possible update the whole structure.
  6. After you click Run Import and confirmed the operation, a job status page will be present. When the job is marked Finished, the synchronization is done and you can inspect the results by opening the affected structure.
Info

When import is run, it runs under your user name and with your permissions. So if you don't have enough permissions to read values somewhere else or to view issues you'd like to import, you may not see the expected result.
