Before you can start using the Mapit plugin, you need to set up some custom fields to store location information for issues. 


1. Geographic coordinate system

Select which geographic coordinate system you would like to use for storing the issue position. Supported formats are latitude/longitude (default) and UTM.


2. Creating custom fields

Mapit makes use of 3 different custom fields to store location information. If you don't have these fields already, you need to create them: 

Panel
  1. A custom field to store geographic latitude position.  
    We recommend that the custom field name contains "Lat" or "Latitude" (or translations of these). We also recommend adding some explanatory text in the custom field description, such as: "Geographic latitude position for this issue. Format is decimal degrees, e.g. 52.5170365"
         Image Modified
  2. A custom field to store geographic longitude position
    We recommend that the custom field name contains "Long" or "Longitude" (or translations of these). We also recommend adding some explanatory text in the custom field description, such as: "Geographic longitude position for this issue. Format is decimal degrees, e.g. 13.3888599"
     
  3. A custom field to store address information
    We recommend that the custom field name contains "Address" for clarity.

If you have opted for UTM Geographic coordinate system, use only one field holding the value with the position.


All custom fields must be of the supported types:

  • Text Field (single-line)
  • nFeed Custom Fields, 
    • Scripted Fields (ScriptRunner)

    Panel

    If you have opted for UTM Geographic coordinate system, you need 2 different custom fields.

    1. A custom field to store UTM position.  
      We recommend that the custom field name contains "UTM" (or translation). We also recommend adding some explanatory text in the custom field description, such as: "Geographic UTM position for this issue. For instance: 33 N 562288 7632649"
    2. A custom field to store address information
      We recommend that the custom field name contains "Address" for clarity.

    (latitude position, longitude position and address or UTM position and adress) need to be placed on issue screens in order for them to be visible to your users. If creating custom fields from the admin section, you will be asked to do this in the last step of the creation process, but you can also do this manually.

    4. Associate custom fields with Mapit parameters

    Once the custom fields have been created, they need to be mapped to the correct Mapit parameters. Go to the add-ons administration section of your JIRA instance, and choose "General configuration" in the Mapit Configuration section.
