Overview

The UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagramming feature allows users to create various UML diagrams directly within easeRequirements for Jira. The integration with the PlantUML editor enables users to use simple text commands to generate complex diagrams (including formula) without needing a separate tool and render them visually in issue descriptions for better clarity and understanding of requirements.

To use the full capabilities of PlantUML, an installation of Graphviz is necessary on the Jira Data Center instance. This action requires server administrator assistance.
