PowerBI With Enterprise Jira

[CraigW]

Hi, 

I was lookng at the many PowerBI to Jira connector discussions and I was trying to figure out the best way to connect in our environment. One of the problems we have is that any data actions take 3-4 hours to update because of the size of our Jira environment. 

So I was thinking there must be some way to limit imports to specific projects, or by a specific time frame. We also have (literally) thousands of custom fields for different reasons, and many of them are not even used any more.

Is there some kind of user guide to the PowerBI connector, its use and configuration? Is there any expectation that the "cloud" connector will ever work in an enterprise environment?

Thanks for your help and comments.

Hi @CraigW,

Here is similar thread for your reference which suggest you connect to particular project in JIRA via below URL:

Thank you , that is an interesting start. However there are a lot of variables in the connection environment, and other than ancedotal conversations there is little documentation of them. I'm looking for the "Source of truth" for the settings and variables making up the connection.  Any thoughts?
