Word Template based Export

Overview

The Word export enables you to use Word documents as templates. The documents contain text fragments formed according to the template language. When you generate an export using such a template the text fragments contained in the Word file are executed and the contents of the exported Word file are generated accordingly.

The template language consists of a rich set of statements and expressions. These allow you to iterate over a set of issues and integrate issue field values into the resulting Word document.

This feature shares functions and documentation with the Data Center edition of R4J. Some listed options are marked as not available in the R4J Cloud edition yet.

Template Administration

To configure templates as a Jira administrator, see Administering Custom Export Templates.

Template Language

The Word export uses custom text fragments to export issue data. To learn more about the template language, see Template Language.
