Get started with RGBIQ Release Views for Jira
Build a focused view of Jira releases and work items across spaces. Native Jira versions and work item release assignments remain the source of truth.
1. Install and start your trial
- Ask your Jira site administrator to open RGBIQ Release Views for Jira on Atlassian Marketplace.
- Review the price, trial terms, permissions, and customer terms, then install the app.
- Open Apps → RGBIQ Release Views for Jira in Jira.
A site administrator manages trials and subscriptions through Atlassian. If a trial or subscription is inactive, the app displays subscription instructions. Installing the app does not grant access to Jira work that you cannot otherwise see.
2. Create your first release view
- Select Create View and enter a clear name, such as “Customer Portal Launch.”
- Choose your scope: Jira spaces, specific releases, or JQL.
- Select the spaces or releases, or enter your JQL, then save.
- Use Select View to return to it later. New views are private until shared.
For JQL scopes, the report starts with work items assigned to a release. Child items may also appear even when they have no release assignment of their own.
A view can load up to 5,000 work items. Use a focused scope for large portfolios. Loading speed and refresh availability also depend on Jira permissions, API limits, and the fields selected.
3. Choose a report
| Report | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Releases | Review release dates, status, approvals, and work progress together. Filter table columns or select chart groups to focus the review. |
| Work Items | Inspect release work, expand epics, stories and sub-tasks, and show linked issues beside source work items. |
| Release Timeline | Explore release dates over time. Zoom to widen or narrow the date columns and inspect releases or Release Set targets. |
| Needs Attention | Find overdue releases, missing release dates, and approval follow-ups. |
Make the report yours
- Use Configure to choose, reorder, add, or remove table columns. Work items and joined linked items can use different column selections.
- Choose Work Item Count, Story Points, or Original Estimate vs Remaining Estimate in release configuration. Story point and estimate results depend on the fields and values available in Jira; inspect the report's progress explanation.
- Use the chart customization button to choose chart fields and presentation.
- Drag column borders to resize them. Collapse columns or adjust the work/linked-item divider to make room. These layout adjustments are personal to you.
- Use the hierarchy toggle to expand or collapse work. Select a row's chevron to expand that branch.
- Use the linked-item toggle to show one row per linked issue. Work items without links remain visible. Charts count source work items once.
- Apply column filters and select Export CSV to download the current report. Filenames include a timestamp to the second.
Understand release readiness
Review testing workflow status and linked test-case or change work items beside release work. Development summaries show commit and pull request information available from tools already connected to Jira. These summaries can be partial or cached. The app does not run tests, enforce approvals, or calculate a guaranteed readiness score.
4. Group versions into a Release Set
Open Release Sets within Releases and create a named group of related Jira versions. Add an optional launch target and inspect the members in the report and timeline.
A Release Set belongs to its saved view. It groups existing versions; it does not synchronize versions, change their dates, or move work items. A set's target date is separate from its member release dates.
Refresh, troubleshoot, and get help
- Missing work? Check the view scope, release assignments, active filters, archived-release setting, and your Jira permissions.
- Changed Jira data? Use Refresh View. Initial loads can take a few minutes; respect any retry or quota message.
- No development summary? Confirm that your development tools are connected to Jira and that the data is available to your account.
- Subscription message? Ask your Jira administrator to check the trial or subscription in Atlassian Administration, then select Check again.
- Stored data or privacy request? Jira administrators can open Data and Privacy. These cleanup controls remain available with an inactive subscription. Other users can contact RGBIQ.
Contact RGBIQ Support & Feedback or email support@rgbiq.com. Include the report, action, error message, and approximate time. Never send passwords, API keys, or an unredacted export of confidential Jira work.
