7. You can import the necessary projects by repeating the above steps. Once you are done, you can go to Manage >> Manage Projects tab and see the imported project from JIRA. Depending on what your role in JIRA is, you can be either a Member or a Manager in the imported project (Figure 20).


Note: If you are a manager, and you want to see your JIRA users in Worksnaps, you need to ask your users to perform the same steps as described above (i.e., establishing connection between Worksnaps JIRA and importing projects/tasks using their own JIRA credentials). Once your users import the same project(s), you will be able to see them in the project(s) in Worksnaps.
