Implement Efficient ITSM Workflows By Enabling Direct Actions In Jira

Enhance IT service delivery, speed up issue resolution, increase Agent productivity, and deliver a better user experience with the latest enhancements to the Jira integration. As part of continuous improvements to this integration, Admins and Agents can now take multiple actions on Items (Assets and Asset Stock) directly from within the Jira app.

Now ,you don’t have to continuously switch between the two applications while carrying out actions in Jira and AssetSonar simultaneously.

Let’s dig a little deeper into the new enhancements!
