Compare Automation Rules

What is this feature?

This is a detailed comparison tool that lets you examine your Jira automation rules from two different points in time (snapshots). It allows you to compare different versions of the same rule or two different rules, either within the same site or across different sites.

Use Case: Use this to troubleshoot a rule that has stopped working by comparing it to an older, working version from a previous snapshot. It is also perfect for standardizing processes by comparing a rule on a staging site against its counterpart on your production site.

This feature of the Revyz Command Center for Jira is unavailable for Revyz Assets Data Manager for Jira. To upgrade your version to Revyz Command Center for Jira, connect with support@revyz.io or install the app here.

Compare automation rules

The "Compare automation rules" view provides a detailed comparison of two automation rules. It allows you to examine the differences between versions of the same rule or two rules within the same site or across site. This page is the first step in comparing your automation rules. You must select two snapshots to serve as the "source" and "destination" for the comparison.

1. Source site details

This card is for selecting the "baseline" or "source" snapshot for your comparison.

Source snapshot *: This is a required field. Click the dropdown menu to select the first snapshot you want to compare from (e.g., the older, "working" version).

2. Destination site details

This card is for selecting the "destination" or "changed" snapshot to compare against the source.

Destination snapshot *: This is a required field. Click the dropdown menu to select the second snapshot you want to compare to (e.g., the newer, "broken" version).

3. View automation rules

Once you have selected both a source and a destination snapshot, click the View automation rules button. This will take you to the next step, where you can select the specific rules from each snapshot to see a side-by-side comparison.
