To sync assets from Endpoint Central to Jira Assets, follow these steps:

1. Go to Jira Assets and click Create Schema. Select Blank Schema from the options.

By enabling the Auto Assign assets feature, the machine is automatically mapped to that issue whenever an issue request is created in Jira. This saves a lot of trouble for the issue resolver as there is no longer a need to map the machines manually.

Go to the Setup Server page, enable Auto Assign assets.
