Rovo Data Generator documentation.

Overview

Rovo Data Generator is an AI-powered assistant that enables users to create issues using natural language prompts.
It provides a fast and intuitive way to generate realistic issue data without navigating traditional configuration screens.

Rovo is ideal for:

• demos and presentations,
• quick dataset initialization,
• onboarding scenarios,
• rapid prototyping of issue structures.

All Rovo-generated objects are fully tracked in the Activity Stream and can be removed at any time.

Selecting the Rovo Agent

Before interacting with Rovo, the user must select the “Data Generator” agent from the list of all available Rovo agents.

This ensures that prompts are routed specifically to the generation-capable agent rather than to other assistants that may exist in the system.

If the agent is not selected, the user cannot issue generation prompts.

How It Works

Users interact with Rovo through a text prompt such as:

“Generate 10 bugs and 10 stories in Project Alpha with random priorities.”

Rovo interprets the instruction and automatically performs a Generate Issues action.

Key facts:

• Rovo generates only issues.
• It does not create comments, worklogs, sprints, or projects.
• It respects all project-level permissions and available issue types.
• Each action appears in the Rovo Activity Stream.

Project Selection

Rovo supports generating issues only into a single project per action.

Before issuing a prompt, the user must select exactly one project.

If the user wants to generate issues into multiple projects, they must run multiple Rovo actions — one per project.

Limits

Rovo enforces a simplified, safe limit model.

Issues

• Maximum 20 issues per Rovo request (regardless of distribution or issue types used in the prompt)

Comments & Worklogs

• Not supported by Rovo.
  Any instructions regarding comments, worklogs, or additional objects are ignored.

Total Objects

Because Rovo only creates issues, the total object count per request is simply the number of issues generated (up to 20).

Activity Stream Integration

All Rovo actions appear in a dedicated Rovo Activity Stream, separate from user-triggered actions.

Each entry includes:

• Action ID
• Action Type (always Generate Issues)
• Performed By – the Jira user who submitted the prompt
• Date
• Duration
• Items generated
• Status

Users can inspect each action and delete all generated objects directly from the Activity Stream.

Permissions

To generate issues, the user must have:

• permission to create issues in the selected project(s),
• access to Smart Data Generator,
• selected the Data Generator agent before prompting.

If required permissions are missing, Rovo will skip the affected projects.

Examples of Supported Prompts

• “Generate 10 bugs in the Helpdesk project.”
• “Add 5 stories and 5 tasks to the Demo Software project.”
• “Create 20 issues across bug and story types in the Training project.”

Rovo interprets quantities and types automatically as long as they remain within limits.

Additional Notes

• Rovo cannot generate sprints, comments, worklogs, components, or versions.
• Ambiguous prompts may trigger clarification requests.
• Rovo-generated issues behave like standard Jira issues and appear in all Jira views and reports.
• All generated issues update Dashboard usage counters.
