What is Workflow PowerBox?
Workflow PowerBox is a solution that extends JIRA's workflow capabilities by a set of powerful templates that allow JIRA administrators to reuse workflow elements (such as conditions, validators and post functions) and manage workflows as flexible as possible.
The app contains three template types:
- Condition templates
- Validator templates
- Post function templates
It also comes with a set of custom conditions, validators and post functions that can be used with templates or directly in JIRA workflows.

Basic Functionalities
Adding a new Template
The Workflow PowerBox Plugin gives you a possibility to create pre-defined templates that
consist of a set of conditions
or validators or post functions - depending on what kind of a template you are working on. You can easily create
the desired template by logging to
the Jira's Administration page and choosing the Issues > Workflow tab.
Clicking on the
Conditions or Validators or Post Functions Template
buttons, they will redirect you to the pages where you can create a template with a set of workflow elements.

3. Organise your pages
Here are some tips for organising your content.
Change the page order
The sidebar on the left displays your pages in a hierarchy. If you have Space Administrator permissions you can click "Space Tools" > "Reorder Pages" to move pages around.
Add labels
Labels help keep pages organised and make it easier for you to find the information you need. Click "Labels" at the bottom of a page to add or edit. The "Related pages" section on this page uses labels too!
Make templates
Standardise and speed up the page creation process with templates. You can create and format a template with page layouts, standard headings and instructional text for hints and guidelines. Check out our sample page on "Working with templates"
