Choose Sprint - "Pattern" option
In 2nd step of SI Wizard new option is present for assigning issues created by Scheduler to Sprints called Pattern available in company-managed projects.
Parallel sprints for company-managed projects
Before you can use this option you have to enable Parallel sprints for company-managed projects. This option can be found by going first top right corner click on cog wheel → Products → Jira configuration and in there this feature can be enabled.
With this option you can have multiple Sprints running at the same time.
Pattern
Pattern option allows you to assign issues to Sprints simply by stating part of the name of the Sprint. There are four options to choose from:
Start with
Simply by stating the beginning of Sprints name Scheduler after execution will search for Sprint that begins with what was stated in the field and assign issue to it.
For example:
The name of the Sprint starts with Run:
In SI Wizard while start with is selected we type in Run:
After SI Execution issue is added to the Sprint that name starts with word Run:
End with
By stating the end of Sprints name Scheduler after execution will search for Sprint that ends with what was stated in the field and assign issue to it.
The name of the Sprint ends with Stop:
In SI Wizard while end with is selected we type in Stop:
After SI Execution issue is added to the Sprint that name ends with word Stop:
Contains
Just by stating part of Sprints name Scheduler after execution will search for Sprint that contains what was stated in the field and assign issue to it.
The name of Sprint contains abc somewhere in the name:
In SI Wizard while contains is selected we type in abc:
After SI Execution issue is added to the Sprint that has somewhere in the name abc:
Regex pattern
Regex pattern or regular expressions is a sequence of characters that specifies a match in the pattern or text. To use this type of pattern the name of the sprint has to contain only a sequence of characters that fits given expression. If more text is in the Sprints name than needed SI Execution will fail.
For example here will be used gr(a|e)y expression:
The name of Sprint contains only the result of chosen expression, in here it’s either grey or gray:
In SI Wizard while regex pattern is selected we type in gr(a|e)y expression:
After SI Execution issue is added to the Sprint that fulfills the given expression:
To keep in mind
Name of the Sprints
The name given in SI Wizard has to match exactly with the name or part of the name of the Sprint. Mismatch will result in Failure of SI Execution.
Active Sprints with the same names
During SI Execution if given quarry fits multiple active Sprints SI Execution will fail. Names of your Sprints should be unique if you want to use this feature.
