Do's and Don't

DoDon't
Write relatively short titles for your requirements, then add details in other columns.Don't write a full document inside a requirement. It is not useful for a user to display "everything" in JIRA, especially since it is not designed for it. Confluence is much better at displaying content.
Use a table to structure your requirements, link one requirement per row.Better not try to define a full paragraph or section of a document as a requirement.
Use short requirement keys with a prefix. Example: "FUNCTIONAL-001" or "FN-001".

Use spaces or expressions as requirement keys. Only letters, numbers, underscore (_), hyphen (-) and dot (.) are accepted.

Don't use the view mode's "inline creation" if you're starting. That only becomes useful when you're tired of importing requirements from Word.

titleThat's all you need to know, literally!

Everything else is tools around the Requirement macro. Get going with your job!

But keep it simple, start with writing requirements!
