After you have connected applications via application links, you can also connect the areas of those applications that contain information relating to your project or team. Using project links (also called entity links) you can associate one or more projects, spaces and repositories across the linked applications.

Project links allow you to take advantage of integration points in Atlassian applications such as:

  • Activity streams. For example, the project links determine the activity retrieved from Jira Software to display in a Confluence activity stream.
  • The Jira Fisheye plugin. For example, a project link between a Jira Software project and a Fisheye repository restricts the scope of Jira searches to a specific Fisheye repository. Note that we do not recommend the use of project links with Fisheye 2.9 and later, if you have Jira 5.0 or later as well as the latest version of the Jira Fisheye Plugin. This is because application links now provide all of the functionality previously available with project links.

Third-party plugins may make use of project links to enrich their functionality too.

What can be linked?

You can link one or more of the following:

  1. Log in to your application as an Jira Administrator and navigate to the administration page for the project:
  2. Choose the project in your local application that you want to link from. For example, you may want to link a Fisheye repository to another type of project.
  3. The instructions for adding a project link will vary depending on whether the target application has Application Links:
    • If the target application has Application Links:
      1. Click Add Link. Then, in the dropdown menu, click the application that contains the project you want to link to, such as a Jira Software site containing a project. or a Confluence site containing a space.
      2. Select either:
        • Authorize — to grant your project authorized access to the target project. You will be taken to the remote application, so that you can log in and authorize access.
        • Skip – your access is anonymous — to allow anonymous access to the target project.
      3. In the Name or Key field, enter the name/key of the project in the remote application, such as a Jira Software project key, or a Confluence space key.
      4. Click Create.
    • If the target application does not have Application Links:
      1. Click Add Link. Then, in the dropdown menu, click the application that contains the project you want to link to, such as a Jira Software site containing a project. or a Confluence site containing a space.
      2. In the Key field, enter the name/key of the project in the remote application, such as a Jira Software project key, or a Confluence space key.
      3. (optional) Enter a display name for the project in the Alias field.
      4. Click Create.
