“Problem” Issue Type

Sparkr Configuration Data
These are created for you through the “Get Started” journey started” setup after installing Sparkr from the Atlassian Marketplace.

an Issue Type Scheme and Workflow, as Jira Apps do not have the ability to do this.
1. Install
Sparkr can be installed from the Atlassian Marketplace by your Administrator via the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM). To find and install Saprkr from the Marketplace:
Navigate to the Altassian Marketplace by either:
The side navigation bar in your Jira instance, choose Jira Settings > Apps > Find new apps.
Directly visiting the Atlassian Marketplace.
Find Sparkr by entering the string “Saprkr” in the “Filter apps” or “Search for apps” search box.
Click the Sparkr app listing to view the details.
Click the “Try app”, “Try it free” or “Subscribe now” buttons
A confirmation message and details will appear when Sparkr is installed successfully.
For more information on finding and installing (or requesting as a non-administrator) marketplace apps, see Atlassian’s Documentation.
2. Setup (“Get started”)
Once Sparkr is successfully installed an “Installed and ready to go!” dialogue window will be shown. In this window there will be the option to “Get started”, that will redirect you to Sparkr’s setup page.
Sparkr’s setup page will automatically configure the following mandatory elements:
A “Problem” issue type - a Jira issue that represents something you want to validate and potentially solve.
A “Possibility” issue type - a Jira issue type that represents something that may solve a validated problem.
A “Solve” issue link type - a Jira issue link type to associate (link) problems and possibilities together for tractability.
Sparkr Configuration Data - editable properties that help categorise your Problems and Possibilities.
