Jama Connect 8.79 Help Guide

Rolf Munson

The User Guide does not explain how to map field names in the import file to fields in JAMA.  Further, at least in the JAMADev system I am using, the mapping is ignored.  The first column in the file maps to Name, even though I have a column titled "Name" in the import file.  Other columns are ignored, or mapped to another title in the JAMA file.  

Can you update the guide to give more detail on how to map column headings in the import file to JAMA.

Hi Rolf,

Here are some resources that may be helpful here: 

• Importing content into Jama Connect
• Preparing a worksheet to import items
• Import items or test cases from an Excel worksheet
• Export/import via Jama Connect-to-Excel round-trip
• Importing items from a Word file
• How tables are imported from Word

Are the behaviours you're seeing different than the ones described there? If so, what are the steps being taken so we can try to reproduce the behaviours you're seeing?

Is there a more recent user guide PDF than 8.79?

@Geoffrey Clemm The 8.79 version of the Jama Connect User Guide is the most current -- they're based on the self-hosted releases, so the next user guide update will be with the release of Jama Connect self-hosted 9.0.0 this summer.
