User and admin guide
How to record why work is blocked in Jira, read the queues and reports, and set the app up as a Jira admin.
Start here
For everyone
Adding the reason
Give a flagged or blocked issue its reason, note, owner and expected date, and write the resolution ahead.
On the board
The Blockers dialog from the board, backlog and sprint menus: what it shows and what it follows.
The app page
Overview, Blocked now, Reason missing, Reports and Retro: the pages under Apps in Jira.
Flagging from the app
Flag with a reason and resolve from the Blocker dialog, when a Jira admin has turned it on.
JQL and Rovo
Search blockers with JQL fields, and ask the Rovo agent what is blocking a project.
For Jira admins
Getting started
Set up the Flagged field, turn on tracking, load history, and choose reasons and signals.
Diagnostics and flag writing
Check each project's capability, recheck an issue, and turn on optional flag writing.
Data and licence
Retention, moved issues, personal data, export, uninstalling, and what an inactive licence pauses.
