Storing metric in a custom field
Having Foxly metrics stored in the custom field unlocks the ability to search for issues by metrics, create reports and automation.
For example, if your team is already using story points for estimating tickets and you would like to include them in Priority score calculation, you can achieve that by creating an Automation rule in Jira. Let’s have a look at what custom fields are available and how to switch them on.
Automation examples 🤖
In this article, we cover 4 examples of how you can use Automation for Jira and Foxly. You can find there how to connect Story points to Foxly, how can flagged tickets influence your priority score, and more.
How to store metrics in a custom field
Just a reminder here is how metrics are defined in Foxly:
Metric custom fields are created in the following format:
[Metric name] - [Priority model name] Value,[Metric name] - [Priority model name] Label.
For example, if we’re using an ICE priority model and we enable the custom field for Ease metric these custom fields will be generated: Ease - ICE Value where the numeric representation of the metric is stored and Ease - ICE Label where the labels of the metrics are stored (eg. XS, M, L in case of Ease metric).
Metric type |
|
|
|---|---|---|
Rating | The number value of the metric | Numbers from 1-5 representing the number of stars |
Label | The number value of the metric | The text label of the metric |
Short text | The number value of the metric | The text label of the metric |
Number | The number imputed from Foxly | Not present |
