How to invite other users via the Jira Cloud add-on?

If you have installed Screenful via the Atlassian Marketplace, others will also see the Screenful link in the Jira UI, and when they click it, they are shown the signup form. So you don't have to send invitation emails in order to invite colleagues, although you can do that as well. When they fill out the form, they will be added to your Screenful account. You can adjust their role and permissions at Account-->Manage Users.

Can I import Jira Work Management projects?

The boards that are created by default for Business projects (a.k.a. Jira Work Management projects) are technically not "boards" in the same sense as the Jira Software project kanban boards. For example they're not available via the Jira API, so we can't integrate directly with them. The good news is that the same work around that exists for Jira Service Management projects also works in this case.

Why do I need to create a separate Screenful account for the Jira Cloud add-on?

Screenful stores data outside Jira so a mechanism for authentication and authorisation is needed. Screenful can always be used in stand-alone mode, just browse to screenful.com/login and log in with your Screenful credentials.

How do I invite my colleagues from Jira?

You can invite colleagues by sending them an invitation.

If you have installed Screenful via the Atlassian Marketplace, your colleagues can join by simply clicking on the Screenful app link within the Jira UI (see the “Apps” menu on the top navigation). They will be prompted to signup after which they will join the account created by you. Initially they have “Member” status and can access all the Screenful features. You can change their status in the Account settings.

What is the lifecycle of an Jira Cloud add-on?

The add-on is installed from the Atlassian Marketplace. Like all paid add-ons there is a free 30-day trial. If you continue using the add-on after the trial ends it will become a regular add-on and Atlassian will add the fees to your invoice.

If you uninstall the add-on during or after the trial, your Screenful account will be immediately deleted together all of the data. If you disable the add-on, your Screenful account will be immediately suspended, and it will be deleted if you don’t enable it within 30 days.
