Adding a board from JIRA (referred to as a JIRA Project in JIRA terminology) plays a crucial role in building project reports. By connecting the task-tracking system, Enji receives regular updates in the form of new worklogs in tasks, status changes, etc.
In this article, we’ll go through how to add a board from JIRA to Enji.
Adding a board can be done after adding a PM site where the board is located – Adding PM Site
If the site is already added to the Enji database, there is no need to create it again.

1. In the Project Report, open the desired project.
2. In the top right corner, click on Actions → Project settings.
3. Go to the PM Tools tab.
4. Click on the +.
5. Fill in the fields:
