Configuration

Configuration is where Jira administrators adjust the governance thresholds that drive Audit 360's risk signals and manage audit runs that have been moved to trash.

What You Can Do​

The Configuration page has two sections:

General Settings​

General Settings lets you adjust site-wide governance thresholds that Audit 360 uses to flag spaces in the Spaces Audit for potential cleanup and categorize them by activity level. The four threshold values are:

  • Active activity threshold — How many days back to look when checking if a space has been recently updated. Spaces updated within this window are flagged as active.
  • Low activity threshold — How many days must pass without updates before a space is flagged as having low activity.
  • Low activity work-item count — When a low-activity space also has this many work items or fewer, it becomes a cleanup candidate.
  • Trash retention — How many days to keep audit runs in trash before the system automatically removes them permanently.

Audit 360 ships with built-in defaults. When you adjust these values, future Spaces Audits apply your new thresholds. Existing audit results are never recalculated — only new runs use the updated values.

Trash retention behaves differently: if you lower the retention window, trashed runs that are already old enough may become eligible for deletion on the next daily purge. Raising the window extends the grace period for runs already in trash.

Trash Management​

Trash Management is the control center for audit runs you have moved to trash. You can:

  • List trashed runs — See which audits are in trash, when they were trashed, when they were trashed by, and how many days remain before automatic deletion.
  • Restore a run — Return a trashed audit to Audit Library so you can review it again without losing any data.
  • Permanently delete a run — Remove an audit run immediately instead of waiting for the automatic 60-day (default) cleanup window.

Each trashed run shows how many days remain before automatic deletion based on your current trash retention setting.

Who Can Access Configuration​

Only Jira administrators can open Configuration. The Configuration tab (gear icon in the top navigation) appears only if you have the "Administer Jira" global permission.

Next Steps​

  • Adjust governance thresholds — See General Settings to change the activity thresholds and retention window that match your organization's governance policy.
  • Manage trashed audits — See Trash Management to restore or permanently delete trashed audit runs without waiting for automatic cleanup.
