Tempo Accounts and work attributes on Cloud vs on Data Center

Tempo accounts and work attributes are Tempo core features used for all Tempo apps on both the Cloud and Data Center hosting platforms. The biggest difference with Tempo accounts between the platforms is that financial data, such as price tables, is included with Tempo accounts on Data Center, but not on Cloud. Price Tables of accounts are not migrated from Data Center to Cloud, but similar effects can be achieved with Cost Tracker.

Similarities:

Apart from the UI differences, Accounts, Account Categories, Account work attributes, other work attributes, and Account gadgets have the same function on both hosting platforms.

Differences:

Tempo accounts and work attributes on Cloud

  1. Import/Export Accounts with CSV

  2. Account does not link to new Jira issue by default

  3. New UI

Tempo accounts and work attributes on Data Center

  1. Import/Export Accounts with CSV and import from Service

  2. Account links to new Jira issue by default

  3. Old UI

Import and export Accounts with CSV file are available for both Cloud and Data Center, but it’s also possible from a service by wrapping the data into an XML file on Data Center.

There are some behavioral differences with the way that accounts link to new Jira issues on Cloud versus on Data Center. On Data Center, when the Account field is associated to the Jira issue screens, and there is only 1 account linked to the Jira project (whether or not the account is set as default), all new issues created are automatically linked to this account. However, on Cloud, all new Jira issues created are not automatically linked to an Account unless it is set as the default.

What’s available on one but not the other:

Accounts and work Attributes on Cloud

Nothing!

Accounts and work attributes on Data Center

  1. Price Tables

  2. Dynamic Dropdown for Work Attributes

  3. Configurable custom field label
