View the structure status of an import

Assets in Jira Service Management is a Premium and Enterprise only feature. Learn more about Assets.

The structure status of an import contains information about any objects or attributes that are missing or have been changed since the import was last run.

The structure status screen will not be visible if you have not run the import structure at least once.

If there are no changed or missing elements, you will get a cheery message that says: “No differences found, everything is fine.”

 

How to import data into Assets

  1. There are five steps when importing your data into Assets:

    1. Prepare your data.

    2. Create an import structure. There are four different types of import available:

      1. Discovery. Learn more about how to bring data from Discovery into Assets.

      2. CSV. Learn more about how to configure your CSV for importing.

      3. JSON import. Learn more about importing data from a JSON file.

      4. External import. Learn more about how to develop an app to import data into Assets.

    3. Map your data. There are two options:

      1. Map your data automatically by automatically creating object types and attributes, or;

      2. Map your data manually by:

        1. Using object type mapping to create Assets object types

        2. Using object type attribute mapping to create Assets attributes and references

        3. Using child object type mapping to create hierarchical parent and child structures.

    4. After you have created your object type mappings you must enable them. The import structure will not be executable until all object type mappings are set to ENABLED. If your object type mappings are not enabled, right-click on your object type mapping and click Enable to enable them.

    5. Execute the import.
