Moving from JIRA to Huly - Planning

I assigned myself as a reviewer, but if someone wants it more, feel free to reassign.

Circling back to the topic of whether projects could replace accounts in Huly:

Based on the testing I’ve done so far, it looks like that won’t be necessary.

We can build on existing Classes and enums to add Account and Account category fields to issues.

I’m out of time for today but I’ll post a screen recording of how it works here soon.

Here is a screencast showing how to replicate Tempo accounts in Huly:

As I mention towards the end of the video, what the platform is currently lacking is support for showing time-based reports about time logged against a set of tasks.

Someone from the community asked about that here: Time sheet or time reporting · Issue #6357 · hcengineering/platform · GitHub

The Enum system is quite powerful, but also a bit limiting. I think it would be nice if we could further map each account itself as billable, non billable etc instead of having that be two fields in each ticket. For that I think it would be a good if we can consider having Accounts be an object like Company or Issue so that if needed we could add an account type Enum to an account for our specific categorisation.

@kshitij That would be a great solution, too :+1: How would we extend the set of existing classes, is that something that can be done at configuration level when setting up a self-hosted instance of Huly? (Maybe I’m missing something, but I just double-checked and couldn’t seem to find an option for adding a new class via the UI.)

I don’t know yet, if it’s possible with just config. If we can do it with just config that would be great. However, I’m proposing that we look into adding this feature because I feel over time it’ll probably justify the cost of implementation.

@kshitij Agreed :+1: It would probably end up helping with a bunch of other use cases that we’re not even thinking of right now :crystal_ball:

Just wanted to post here that I’ve completed the orientation guide for Huly. It won’t answer everything, but it should save you hours of time getting started.
