Integration & Configuration
Integration with Jira through Jira Assistant is quiet simple. After installation, for first time integration, authenticate with Jira in your browser and from the same tab, just click on JA icon from your browser. This will open a popover page where automatically the URL of the Jira (current tab url) is populated. You can click on Integrate button inside the popover page and you are done. You need not provide any credentials to connect to Jira, by default your browsers authentication with Jira will be used in Jira Assistant.
Note: Whether the integrate page opens as popover or separate tab and whether the Jira URL is automatically filled or not totally depends on the permission given to the extension by the browser. So, this behaviour may differ in different browsers and different versions.
