Standupify Unconfigured Task List: Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Standupify task list unconfigured?

Your Standupify task list is unconfigured because you haven't yet set up the personal filters that tell Standupify which tasks to automatically pull from your integrated task manager (e.g., Jira). This configuration is crucial for Standupify to suggest relevant tasks for your daily standup.

How do I configure my task list for Standupify?

To configure your task list, look for the 'Daily Report' message in Google Chat from Standupify. It will typically show a message like 'You haven't configured task list...' and include a 'Configure' button. Click this button to proceed with setting up your task filters, which often involves creating a JQL query for Jira users.

What is a JQL query and how does it relate to Standupify?

JQL stands for Jira Query Language. It's a powerful text-based language used in Jira to search for issues. When integrating Jira with Standupify, you use a JQL query to define the specific criteria (e.g., tasks assigned to you, updated yesterday, in a particular project or status) that Standupify should use to fetch and suggest tasks for your daily report.

How can I get Standupify to suggest my tasks automatically?

To enable automatic task suggestions, you must configure your personal task list within Standupify. This involves setting up filters, such as a JQL query for Jira, that specify the criteria for tasks you want to see in your daily report. Once configured, Standupify will automatically present relevant tasks, eliminating manual entry.

What should I do if my Daily Report message says 'You haven't configured task list'?

If you see this message, your immediate action should be to click the 'Configure' button located on the Standupify Daily Report card in Google Chat. This will guide you through the necessary steps to set up your task filters and enable automated task suggestions for your future reports.

What are the benefits of configuring my Standupify task list?

Configuring your task list offers several benefits: it automates task suggestions, saving you time during daily standups; ensures your reports are accurate and personalized based on your actual work; and streamlines your daily reporting process by integrating directly with your task manager like Jira.

Can I change my task list configuration later?

Yes, you can typically modify your task list configuration at any time. If your work patterns or project focus changes, you can revisit the configuration settings (often accessible via the 'Configure' button or Standupify's settings) to update your filters or JQL query.
