Configure Compass components
Compass components can be configured by anyone who has access to Compass.
Currently, you can only use Compass components in company-managed, software spaces. They are unavailable for business and service type spaces, and all team-managed spaces. Because they’re cataloged in Compass, they can be used across multiple spaces.
Create a Compass component
In your space navigation, select the Components tab.
Next to Create component, check that the space is using Compass components and not Jira components. If it’s switched to Jira components, your space admin will need to switch to Compass components.
Select Create component to open Compass in a new tab.
Fill out the new component’s information.
The component type is what it represents as a piece of your software architecture.
The component name is used in a work item’s Components field, and when searching for the component in the space.
The owner team is the group of people responsible for managing the component.
The repository link is where your component is represented in your source code (if applicable). Adding this will help populate source code events on the component in Compass.
Select Save.
The new component will appear in Compass. Anyone in the space can now link work items to the Compass component, after which it’ll appear on the space’s Components tab.
Edit a Compass component
In your space navigation, select the Components tab.
Select the name of the component you want to edit. Compass will open in a new tab.
Change any component information you need to. If any of that information appears in Jira, it will be updated too.
Delete a Compass component
This will delete the component from Compass, and it’ll be removed from any spaces and work items it was linked to.
In your space navigation, select the Components tab.
Select the name of the component you want to delete. Compass will open in a new tab.
On the component’s Overview page, select More actions (), then select Delete.
