Showing the Vansah Panel in Jira Work Items

Add, expand, collapse, or remove the Vansah panel in a Jira work item, and learn who can use Show for all work items.

Open the Vansah panel in a Jira work item to view linked Test Cases and manage testing from the work item. If the panel is missing or collapsed, use the steps below to show it again.

Before you begin

  • Vansah Test Management must be installed on your Jira site and enabled for your Jira space.

  • You need permission to edit the Jira work item to see its app button.

  • Your existing Jira and Vansah permissions still control which testing information and actions you can access.

Add the Vansah panel

  1. Open the Jira work item.

  2. Below the work item title, select Apps. In some Jira layouts, this appears as an icon labeled View app actions.

  3. Select Vansah Test Management.

The following screenshots show the app actions button and the Vansah option.

Vansah must still be enabled for the Jira space, and users must have the required access.

The menu below shows both Expand and Show for all work items.
