Hooq help centre

Before you start

Check these points before you create your first Hooq.

Requirements

  • Jira Cloud. Hooq is an Atlassian Forge app for Jira Cloud. It is installed from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  • Hooq installed on every site you want to sync. A sync between two different sites needs Hooq on both sites. A sync between two projects on one site needs it on that site only.
  • Two projects. Decide which projects you want to connect and which work types should be copied.

Permissions

  • The Hooq page in the Apps menu is shown to Jira administrators only. Ask a site administrator if you cannot see it.
  • For a sync between two sites, a Jira administrator on each site is needed: the connector is set up in the Hooq Global Settings page on both sites, and the other site approves your Hooq request.
  • Team members do not need the Hooq page. Every user who can see a work item can use the Hooq - Work Sync Panel on it: Resync, add a comment and add an attachment.
  • All other Hooq pages and actions are for Jira administrators. A regular user who reaches one gets the message This action is restricted to Jira administrators.
  • The Hooq dashboard gadget is for Jira administrators only for now. A regular user sees Hooq dashboard data is available to Jira administrators. in the gadget.

Plan your mapping

Write down, before you start:

  • Which work types in project A match which work types in project B.
  • Which fields should be copied (Summary, Description and Priority are a good start).
  • Which statuses in project A match which statuses in project B. A status you do not match does not move the copy.
  • Whether comments and attachments should go both ways or only one way.
