How dashboards, boards and filters are migrated

The Jira Cloud Migration Assistant lets you migrate dashboards, all boards and filters to cloud.

Migrate dashboards

You can select one of the following options to migrate dashboards using Jira Cloud Migration Assistant:

Option

Description

Only dashboards linked to selected projects specified in gadgets or dashboard permissions

This includes dashboards linked to projects selected for migration that are specified in the gadgets or dashboard permissions.

This will not include dashboards that are not linked to any projects. To migrate such dashboards, use the All dashboards option.

All dashboards

This includes all dashboards on your server or Data Center.

None

No dashboards will be included for migration.

Note that:

  • After migration, some dashboard gadgets may not work because certain gadgets on the server are either third-party or not currently supported in the cloud.

  • Some projects related to dashboards may not have been selected for migration. You can continue migrating these dashboards. We'll relink when you migrate them again, along with their associated projects.

Gadgets supported in Jira Cloud Migration Assistant

During the migration, you may find that some gadgets are missing from the dashboards. This is because some gadgets on the server are either third-party or not currently supported in the cloud. The following table lists all gadgets that are migrated using Jira Cloud Migration Assistant and those that are unsupported by the migration assistant or the cloud:

Migrate boards and filters

When you decide on the scope to migrate boards and filters, it can include:

  • Boards created from multiple projects

  • Boards from an existing saved filter

  • All shared filters - a filter can have shared access with:

Any logged-in user

The filter is shared with all users on your Jira instance.

Anyone on the web

If a filter is Shared with anyone on the web, this allows public access to certain information on your site. If you want to prevent people who aren’t logged in from viewing this information and limit access to your logged-in users, either:

  • Single project filters shared with:

    • Public/private, or to certain users and groups

    • Non-migrating projects

  • If you've selected Project A and Project B for migration, then all boards and filters created or shared to these two projects would be migrated.

  • Boards and filters shared with public/private, users, groups, or with a non-migrating Project C would not be migrated.

All filters and cross-project boards
All filters (both single and cross-project) and cross-project boards, irrespective of their shared access.

  • All filters and cross-project boards, regardless of their shared access

 

  • Single project boards created on

    • non-migrating projects.

To migrate these boards, include the relevant projects in your migration.

  • If you’ve selected Project A and Project B, then all filters and cross-project boards will be migrated regardless of their shared permission.

  • Single project boards created on project C, which is not included in migration would not be migrated. To migrate these boards, you’ll have to migrate Project C.

None

  • No boards and filters will be included for migration.

(Some boards and filters are migrated even when this option is selected. Known issue: MIG-1654)
