Linking Organizations to Activities, Contacts and Deals

Issue linking allows you to create an association between two existing issues on either the same or different Jira servers. Issue linking also allows you to: Create a new linked issue from an existing issue in a service desk or business project; Create an association between an issue and a Confluence page; Link an issue to any other web page. To create links on issues, you need to have the Link Issues permission in the project(s) to which the issues belong. Lean more about issue linking.

Searching for Organizations

Can't find the issue that you are looking for? On Jira any user can search for issues, although they will only see issue results from projects where they can view issues (i.e. 'Browse Project' permission). The advanced search allows you to build structured queries using the Jira Query Language (JQL) to search for issues. In Kanoah CRM, deals, contacts, activities and organizations are issues, so you can take advantage of all searching features available on Jira.

Adding a Custom Field

Jira lets you add custom fields in addition to the built-in fields. To do so, you must be logged in as a user with the Jira Administrators global permission. Learn more about Adding custom fields.
