      Jira Service Management - User Guide

      In this article, you will understand step by step how to easily integrate with Jira Service Management

      The integration with Jira Service Management will allow the Scytale platform to collect support tickets and SLA indications for each ticket, ensuring that the company is responding to tickets in accordance with their SLAs.

      This will also reduce the manual work, time, and effort required to populate the necessary evidence for the control - as it will automatically be collected.

        For instance, if you manage multiple accounts or would like to connect multiple times to the integration. It's automatically titled (Connection 1,2,3 etc), but you can change it to a custom name to make it easier to identify.
