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