- In Exply for Jira it is now possible to define the import period in days. This way it is no longer necessary to import all JIRA (& Tempo) data, and there is a potentially enormous improvement in import speed. This is especially useful, if data doesn't change after a couple of days and you just want to update/import the last 14 days. Leaving the appropriate form blank, will import everything. You can also do a two-step setup. First of all, you import all data and after this is done you set the import period to a smaller amount. All data will be kept and only the data within the period will be updated.
- Exply for Jira now also imports Tempo workloads & team commitment. This way you can finally compare planned workloads with actually logged hours.
Improvements:

- Added a new calculated value field: Booked/Estimated Ratio
- This value field calculates the ratio between booked hours and the original estimate per issue, e.g. if an issue is estimated with 10 hours and it has 7h logged to it, the ratio will be 0.7
- Please note that summing up ratios will bring up not useful results. This value field works best if used in the Metrics Tile Widget with the average-operation, or any other Widget when the data is categorised on issue-level, e.g. with "Issue" and "Issue Key".
