What is a reference?

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

 

A reference in Assets connects two objects through attributes. There are two types of references:

  • Outbound references: Point from the current object to another object.

  • Inbound references: Point from another object to the current one.

Each reference can also have a Reference type to describe the relationship, such as 'Dependency', 'Link', or 'Replaced by'. This provides a detailed view of how objects are interconnected within your schema.
