How do I enable "Release Vehicles"?
Asked by Thomas Dennis:

I am the Jira Align Admin for our company. When I follow the steps provided below, I do not see "Release Vehicle" only "Releases". We currently have Jira Align Standard. Am I missing something.

"If trying to grant access to Release Vehicles in Jira Align, you'll need to update the user's system role. This can be done on the Administration -\> Roles page. Expand the Program section and then search (it's quicker than scrolling!) for Release Vehicle. You should see Add, Save, and Delete toggles."

Thanks - Tom

body: Hi Thomas,  
First of all, please confirm what Terminology that you are using for Releases and Release Vehicles. That can be found in Administration \| Platform Terminology  
"Release Vehicles" may have been renamed in your instance.  

Then, it will be listed under:  
Program \| Manage  
I've enclosed a screenshot, so that you can look in the correct location.

body: Thanks Heidi!

You are correct! Our Jira Align Atlassian engagement engineer renamed "Release Vehicles' to "Releases" and "Releases" to "Program Increments". With that said, what was the out-of-the-box definition for "Releases" and "Release Vehicles"?

Does our renaming convention make sense to you?

Thanks again, Tom


author: Rae Gibbs
body: [@Thomas Dennis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4190370) When Jira Align, formerly Agilecraft, was originally created, Program Increments were names Releases and Releases were named Release Vehicles. The terminology change in your instance is a common terminology change.

slow scrolling
Asked by David Denney:

While using Chrome browser (94.0.4606.61) to access Jira Align, I recently noticed that on any page which shows "cards", like home page or Kanban board, when I try to scroll down it only moves a single pixel at a time, rather than according to my mouse control panel as it would on any other page. Is there are way to overcome this issue? Scrolling works fine when using the Edge browser, but I prefer to use Chrome. I'm not sure exactly when the issue started, as our team only recently switched to Kanban and it wasn't evident previously.

body: Hey David,  
Great to hear you have found a workaround for the issue that you are seeing.  
Are you the only person in your team experiencing this issue, or are other people?  
If other team members are also experiencing it, then please log a Support ticket with Atlassian.  
<https://support.atlassian.com> so we can investigate it further.  

If it's only you, I would try check in your local IT Support about it. Maybe reboot, or update mouse drivers.  
Good luck.

It was released to address a zero-day exploit, and I imagine many more people will be making the update by today, and I thought Atlassian might want to know about the potential issue.

Roll-up for Remaining Story Points
Asked by Martin Bouchard:

In Jira Advanced Roadmap, I can have a column for "Progress (story points)", which will show the roll-up of remaining story points in Epic and Initiative in a hovering popup.

However, I would like to have a specific column for the "Remaining (story points)", but it's nowhere to be seen in the available column we can add in Jira Plan.

Any idea?

Also, if this can be available in Jira Plan, it would also be nice to have this column exported as a specific field back in the Jira Epic or Initiative.

author: Curt Holley
body: Hi [@Martin Bouchard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1307352)

I take it you don't have a custom field "Remaining (story points)" or anything?

You would just like it if there was such a field, rather than just the "Progress (by Story points)" field where you need to hover to get the remaining Story points.

Sadly, this is not a thing.....

The only way to try and set something like this up would be by creating a custom field and getting Automation to populate it with the story points from the open stories etc. Then you could add that field to your plan.

comments: author: Martin Bouchard
body: Yeah, I had used Automation before to do the roll-up of SP under a parent. I had removed it all that automation when I started using Jira Plan and that was available right in.

Now it's sad that the popup contains the remaining SP, but could not have it as a column. How can we ask for this feature?

Can I view Votes in Advanced Roadmaps?
Asked by Amir Manji:

Is it possible to add the vote counts for an issue as a field in Advanced Roadmaps? We currently have to go to a different page (for example, Filters) to see this field because it doesn't show up in the list of available fields in Advanced Roadmaps. Is this something we could solve with a Custom Field?


Answers:
author: Joseph Chung Yin
body: [@Amir Manji](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3633110)

Unfortunate, it is not available because the nature of the "Votes" element in Jira Software application. Furthermore it is not even available for Automation for Jira rule building block (i.e. when the field is changed trigger event). If there was, then you can build a rule to copy its value into a custom field (number data type) where you can then added to your Advanced Roadmaps for Jira plan.

There is an existing feature request - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-22605>

Can I Show Dependency report in Confluence?
Asked by Mit Tolia:

Dear All,

We have got a team who are using Advanved Roadmaps in Cloud and have also configured the dependencies etc.

While it is possible to generate a Confluence link from the actual plan, the team wants to see if it is possible to embed the dependency report from Advanced Roadmaps in Jira on a Confluence page?

The dependency report page does not have the option to create a shareable link that can be used on the confluence page, hence the question to see if this is a limitation at the moment?

Thanks and Regards,

Mit Tolia


Answers:
author: Curt Holley
body: Hi [@Mit Tolia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3603273)

Best way (I know of) is to use the iframe macro. Simply paste the (URL) link and set the width and height.

And!! You can still interact with it from the Confluence page.

comments: author: Mit Tolia
body: Thanks for the response [@Curt Holley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3527535) By using the iFrame macro, would the team be able to actually bring up the dependency report view in Confluence?

They were able to successfully insert the Advnaced Roadmap plan into confluence, but I believe they were not able to switch to the dependency report view or embed the dependency report view in Confluence


author: Curt Holley
body: What I did [@Mit Tolia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3603273) was placed the Dependency Report specific URL in the iframe. But I've just checked, you can still navigate back to other views and then back to the Dependency report view. So yes, if you use an iframe with any Plan URL, you can still navigate around all the views for the plan.


author: Mit Tolia
body: Thank you so much [@Curt Holley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3527535) . Let me go back and check if the iFrame macro is available on the clients instance and have a go at it.

Will revert if I run into any issues, but from what you have mentioned, looks like a straight forward approach.

Issues under Epic do not show for all my teams when I have View settings = Teams
Asked by Apryl Harris:

I have Premium Cloud version of Jira SW. I set up my Advance Roadmap where source = project, built my teams in Adv Roadmaps and associated the teams to the project.  

I can see the associated issues under the epic in the Basic view. But, with Basic view and when I set View settings, Group by = Teams, I cannot see the linked issues (stories, tasks, bugs) under the epics for all the teams. All the teams do have specific team members associated with them.

Can someone help me resolve?

Can you use Advanced Roadmap for Resource Planning ?
Asked by Dave Beecroft:

Hi

We are looking to introduce resource planning and need to understand if Jira and advanced road maps can process our requirements. We will want to identify employees by skills and skills experience and then use that to understand resource availability for projects. an example would be a senior tester role, if we only have 1 senior tester within the company with specific skills and experience, then they can only be allocated to a selected project and may not be available for future work. The aim is to be able to ensure that projects are not started that require specific skills until that skilled resource is available. Looking at the roadmap software I can see how employees can be allocated but does this show their skills and if so is it searchable?

Thanks

Welcome to a community!

I couldn't find any evident information in the documentation about skills usage in AR.

[ActivityTimeline plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220860/activitytimeline-resource-planning-time-tracking?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=marketplace&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=comments) for resource planning has skills and skill level features as well. You can create your own new Proficiency levels, that could later be associated with your users.

ActivityTimeline provides a possibility to create a group of experts (functional team) that is formed automatically based on either its position or skillset. As an option, you can create a functional team and track all activities based on employees' skills.

To track user availability or level availability [ActivityTimeline](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220860/activitytimeline-resource-planning-time-tracking?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=marketplace&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=comments) allows to create Skill Availability Report and Skill Level Availability Report that provides a summary of the skill (level) availability of the members in the team.

If the issues added to your plan are associated with a release, then the release should just be there.

If you have added the whole project (for example) that has the release, then as long as the release has some content (Stories etc) that appear on the plan,   
If you go into the Releases section, what do you see?  
What about...any green dots at the top of the timeline? As they are releases.

How to create advanced filter with issuetype = bug and epic link only within currentusername
Asked by ET03795:

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a advanced filter allowing me to get the list of issues with :

issuetype = "bug"

epiclinks \<\> "" and where epics are with my currentuser as assignee ?

I've tried with IssueFunction and Issue in LinkedIssues but it didn't work..

If it's a JQL filter you're looking to create, then it would look like:

```
issuetype = Bug AND "Epic Link" = ABC-123 AND assignee = currentUser()
```

Using IssueFunction isn't possible with default Jira JQL's, this may have been in reference to a scripted JQL using the ScriptRunner app.

Hope this helps!

So If I understand well, it isn't possible to make a condition for all "Epic Links" where I'm the assignee of the Epic notified in "Epic Link" ?

As we have several Epic coming, I was hoping to be able to vary this data, instead of adding the epics references assigned to me. \^\^

Hi There:

I currently have an issue in Advanced Roadmaps where several of the Jira Issues are appearing under the wrong Sprint, in the Sprint Capacity View.

How do I resolve this issue?

is there a chance to check in the older issues if they have been in a (meanwhile) closed sprint and were carried over to a new sprint?

That's the easiest of option I could think of, at least a JQL query for the troubling issue alongside with "sprint=XYZ" to see what is really in it for the specific one would be giving some insight, I hope.

Cheers,

Automatic issue dates update based upon a dependency
Asked by Javier Garay:

Hi community,  
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to auto change the start date and end date of an issue if this has a dependency with a previous one that is moved or the end date is extended. This is something very basic in project management tools like MS Project. I understand that Jira isn't a Gantt software, but this is something that has become critical for us as we are using Jira as our main tool for any kind of projects, so waterfall model has become a must to have.  
Is there any way to do this natively or with some plugin? Maybe there is a workaroud to like using an specific automation process?  
Thanks,  
Javier G.


Answers:
author: Curt Holley
body: Hi [@Javier Garay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4412800)

You could achieve this with Automation.

Something like the below should do it. Up to you as to any other conditions, which issue types and link types are required based on your systems set-up

![Screenshot 2022-04-12 123414.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/192500i5EB196B0DFE5A8DB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-04-12 123414.png")

comments: author: Bill Sheboy
body: Hi [@Javier Garay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4412800)

Yes, and...to Curt's answer:

Do you have multiple issues in the dependency "chains" of links? If so, and the links are both in-one-direction AND there are no loops, you could get this rule to trigger itself to walk the tree by enabling the "Allow Rule Trigger" option. If both of those criteria are not true, I would advise against it as the looping rule execution to use up your automation SLA quite quickly and halt all rule processing.

Also of note: I recall in another post the roadmap team was experimenting with an automatic shift to start/due dates based on changing one item in a chain. Perhaps keep watch out in case that feature is implemented in the future.

Kind regards,  
Bill
