ALM Works Releases Free Version of Interactive Desktop Client for JIRA Issue Tracker

JIRA Client, a desktop front-end for Atlassian JIRA issue tracking system, boosts your productivity with an interactive interface, enables greater mobility with its offline mode, and has many useful features such as smart search, time tracking widget, screenshot editor, and others.

St.Petersburg, Russia. - October 6, 2009: ALM Works today announces the release of JIRA Client Lite, the free version of a popular desktop client for Atlassian JIRA issue tracking and project management system. This client offers interactive user interface, powerful search, offline mode and other capabilities that expand JIRA functionality to organize issue tracking for more convenience and efficiency. The Lite version is an absolutely free fully-functional version that works with a 10-user starter edition of Atlassian JIRA.

According to Igor Sereda, the founder of ALM Works, the concept behind JIRA Client is to make issue tracker a more powerful and, at the same time, more easy-to-use tool. "JIRA Client is a valuable companion for frequent JIRA users," says Mr. Sereda. "The program has powerful search capabilities and unique hierarchical organization of search filters, which let you immediately grasp project state and concentrate on the work to be done. Thanks to JIRA Client caching issues on your hard drive, you can now search, create and modify issues when JIRA server is not available - during business trips or on-site with a customer. And interactive interface saves your time that otherwise would be spent on browsing web pages."

It's Now Possible to Work with Issues Away from the Network

JIRA Client downloads issues from JIRA and stores them in a local cache, allowing users to view and edit issues regardless of server's availability. Any changes that are not marked "draft" are uploaded to JIRA whenever the server is reachable. JIRA Client also periodically polls server for changes and download new or modified issues. These changes are automatically reflected on the JIRA Client's interface - in issue counters and issue tables.

More Powerful and Structured Search Improves Issue Tracking

JIRA Client has powerful search with complete Boolean logic processor, which allows users to build any combination of filters, grouped by AND, OR and NOT operations. JIRA Client also lets each user organize search queries into hierarchy: when a "child" query is run, the results of its "parent" are taken, and the query's filter is applied to them.
