We require customers to move on to Indexing Engine v2. The requirements are indexed slightly differently. This page summarizes the XHTML / storage format differences between the two indexations.
See Choosing the indexing engine for the intrinsic qualities of this engine.
We don’t flatten lists and tables anymore.
Bug scenario: None expected, this one will only make the users happier
We only use the first cell as the body of the requirement. All the other cells are stored as properties, and the text of properties is not repeated in the cells.
Bug scenario 1: If your requirement key is not in the first column, or if your second column doesn’t contain the requirement description, then your requirement will have no excerpt and all text will be in various properties.
Bug scenario 2: When comparing requirements, you will notice there is less text in the description. This is because we don’t repeat the text of properties in the description. In our customer trials, surprisingly, most customers didn’t even notice and not a single question was raised. It is very visible during the comparison, but it seems more usable on a day-to-day basis.
Workaround: If you really need all columns in your descriptions, then you will have to put an RY Property macro in each necessary column (tick: “✓ Title”).
Rationale: Users didn’t understand why the same text was repeated in the description and properties. In most cases, the description of the requirement is indeed in the 2nd column, and in other situations, the RY Property macro can be used.
We store the entire URL.
Bug scenario: If the URL of your Confluence changes, then links will point to the old URL.
Workaround: Reindex the pages and use the indexing comparison.
Rationale: When we are not using the entire URL, requirements displayed in Jira wouldn’t link to the correct page.
Please report any difference that is affecting your business.
