Building an attachment management system in Jira is essential for efficient team workflows. In Jira Cloud, the attachment section can be overwhelming, with many files piled together. Happily, categorization of attachments is now available for Jira Cloud with Smart Attachments for Jira.

Categorize attachments in Jira issues

The Smart Attachments for Jira Cloud app works with labels that you can use to tag your documents and attachments. The best thing about this is that are no longer limited by the set of pre-defined categories, now you can add labels on the fly and have different labels in issues of the same Jira project.

 

Unlike the native Attachments section, which always appears on top of the Jira issue, the Smart Attachments panel is flexible. You can decide where you want to see your documents when working with issues. Two options are available: the issue body or the sidebar. Anyway, you can always quickly access the labeled attachments or update your preferences.

The app lets you instantly filter documents and assets against one or multiple labels. This can be done by selecting the appropriate label from the list or clicking a specific label below each attachment name. In addition to the ability to filter and group files by custom criteria (like labels, uploader, or upload date), you get control over revisions of Jira attachments.
