The Visibility Settings is the section of the configuration that defines when the Cross Connector should be visible on your Jira issues.
For this, navigate to TMS Component Activation and select Add Visibility Settings.
Fill out the following information (screenshot filled with mock data)
Jira Project
The project in which the Cross Connector should be visible.
Jira Issue Type
The Jira Issue Type for which the Cross Connector should be visible.
Customfield ID
The ID of your custom field that is being used to control visibility.
How to create a custom field and identify its ID can be found here: Working with Custom Fields
CustomField Values
The values of the custom field that will be used to control visibility of the Cross Connector UI block.
The values you have to write here is dependent on the type of custom field you use.
If you are unsure how the values of your custom field are stored you can use the following API call:
<JIRA_SERVER_URL>/plugins/servlet/crossalm/cc5/cc_transport_management?type=get-customfield-value&jiraIssueKey=<JIRA_ISSUE_KEY>&customfieldId=<CUSTOMFIELD_ID>
The output could look this:
{"customfieldId":"customfield_10113","value":"FSP"}
Jira Final Status
In this field place the status from the Issue Type chosen in the field Jira Issue Type with which the component will be rendered as read-only.
SAP Settings
Enables you to register multiple development systems to be used in your application. The development systems defined in this section will be available for the end user in the Dropdown List “Dev. System”.
SAP System Type
The SAP System Type for which transport requests will be created.
Currently, only ABAP systems are supported.
SAP Client
The SAP Client in which the transport requests will be created.
SAP CTS Project
You can place in this field the CTS project available in the SAP system.
Please, note that the CTS Project Switches can affect the way the Transport Requests works.
After having finished creating a Visibility Setting you should see it on the list.
Note that you can have multiple Visibility Settings for different systems by pressing the button Add Visibility Settings again.
Verify
Create a new issue, where the value for the custom field you have specified has not yet been determined.
Add the app to the issue layout by selecting it from the installed app list.
When first rendered the issue view component will inform you that it is not active for the selected issue.
Now place the value specified in the configuration.
I am using field “Landscape” and value “ERP” as indicated by the screenshots above.
Now the UI block is available and allows for transport request creation for the specified system, provided you have the necessary authorization.
