Use the plugin

A new Analysis is created in the dedicated ForeSight project, with a default name format of <JIRA Issue title> - <Date> - <Created in JIRA> and a Description in the General tab indicating the analysis came from the JIRA issue.
  After creating an Impact Analysis activity, you can review and update the related analysis in ForeSight from the JIRA issue anytime by clicking on View Analysis. You can also see summary highlights for Directly Impacted Components and Directly Impacted and Reviewed Components.
The two summary items can be exposed as custom fields in the JIRA issue for searching and gating.

Click on Delete Analysis to remove the Analysis from ForeSight and disconnect the JIRA issue from the Analysis. The plugin returns to its original state as in the beginning of Step 7.
