Add Profile Element as customized link

In some cases, it is helpful to format information in the user profile as a link. This is easily possible with the standard functionality of Jira when markup is used. Markup can also be used with mapping for LDAP Attribute(s).

Example for LDAP mapping

1. Create a profile Element with the field type "Textfield“

2. In the Mapping for LDAP Attributes insert your link with markup. For example, if you want to add a link to an Organization chart that is available via https://example.com/chart/<username> you can use the following markup: [Link|https://example.com/chart/%%username%%]

3. To display the link in the user profile activate the visibility ("Display in Hover Profile“)
   
   

   Open

   

    

4. Please note: After configuring an LDAP/AD mapping a manual synchronization will be necessary before the data from the LDAP/AD will be available.

5. After configuration and synchronization, you will be able to see the Link in the user profile
   
   

   Open

   

    

6. To display this link in Jira issues please have a look at the documentation: Display Profile Elements in Issues
