Get started with Jira integration

Vera Electronic Signatures for Jira connects Jira and Tricentis Vera. With this integration, you can view Vera approval tasks, assign them, approve or reject Jira issues, and view approved, revised, and superseded revisions directly from Vera.

For Jira Cloud administrators, the Vera panel only appears on Jira issues if the Space/Project is enabled in the Tricentis Vera configuration.

Before you start

You need a local Vera service account to integrate Vera and Jira. Create a local account in Vera to use as a Jira service account, then add the System Service Account system role to it.

You also need to install the free Vera Electronic Signatures for Jira add-on from the Atlassian Marketplace before you can configure the connection.

Configure the app

To configure the Vera Electronic Signatures for Jira app, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Manage Apps in Jira and select Configure.
