DOCman Populate batch upload migrating from 1.5 Joomla


For managing documents I decided to continue to use DOCman. They have a new version for 2.5 Joomla. They also have a DOCman Productivity Pack which allows migrating files with ease. Use DOCman Populate add-on for that purpose. 

Install DOCman Populate thru Extension - Install, then follow these steps to auto create documents from your files:

1. Upload your files using FTP, into the /dmdocuments folder. (It might have a different name — check your DOCman configuration)
2. Create Categories in DOCman matching the ones you had in old Joomla (I did it manually but if you know how to automatically export them let me know)
3. In the backend, go to Components - DOCman Populate - Configuration
Choose the default settings. These will be used for all documents that you generate.
4. Go to Components - DOCman Populate - Import Files
5. Select the files you want (you can use Ctrl-click / Cmd-click for multiple files)
6. Pick a category and click the import button
7. The documents are now available in DOCman.

How to export issues, backlog to file in Jira Next-Gen software project

I am using Jira next-gen for my project and I created a backlog (roadmap) and the board. My developers found it is time-consuming to go thru each of the items, click on the issue, comment then click on another one.. They wanted to see all of them in the file. Apparently it is not very straightforward and I wish Jira developers simplified it by making an Export button at the top of the right corner. Here is how to do it.  When you are in the Next-Gen Project go to Filters - Advanced Issue Search Add caption Then filter for what you would like to export and then in the upper right corner click on Export button and choose what format you would like.
