Before you begin

Please note the following information before you install, upgrade or remove FOLIO:

  • You must have the 'JIRA System Administrators' global permission.
  • Please check the Supported Platforms to ensure your version of JIRA supports the FOLIO version to be installed.
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 9 or higher are supported.
  • FOLIO is available in English and French. More languages will be supported in future releases.

 

FOLIO will add additional tables to your JIRA database. Enabling or disabling FOLIO within your installed plugins will not cause any damage to your JIRA data.

 

Installing FOLIO

Instructions in the following sections may differ depending on your versions of JIRA and the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM).  See Atlassian documentation on add-on installation for more details.

Editing your FOLIO License

To enter your FOLIO License details:

  1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA System Administrators' global permission.
  2. Click the Add-ons item in the cog menu at the top right.
  3. Select the Manage add-ons link on the left navigation bar. The Universal Plugin Manager page will be displayed.

You can copy your FOLIO license from https://my.atlassian.com, where you can either generate a new Evaluation License Key or retrieve your old License Key if you already have one.

Licensing

If you need to change your FOLIO license details at any time in the future, please refer to Specifying your License Details. Please note that if you are using a commercial (i.e. not an evaluation) license for FOLIO then it must match your JIRA's license. For example, if you have a JIRA 25 User Commercial license you must have a FOLIO 25 User Commercial license. FOLIO evaluation licenses do not need to match JIRA licenses.

Upgrading FOLIO

Before you begin, please read the latest  FOLIO 5.0 Release Notes and version-specific Upgrade Notes (if any) and ensure that you are running a version of JIRA that is compatible with your new version of FOLIO.

  2. Click the Add-ons item in the cog menu at the top right.
  3. Select the Manage add-ons link on the left navigation bar. The Universal Plugin Manager page will be displayed.

  4. Click the FOLIO section to expand it.
