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 to display in a Confluence activity stream.
The JIRA FishEye plugin. For example, a project link between a JIRA 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:

JIRA projects
Confluence spaces
FishEye repositories
FishEye projects. A FishEye 'project' is the Crucible project if you have installed both FishEye and Crucible, otherwise it is the paths associated with the 'FishEye Project Content' function in FishEye.
Crucible projects
Bamboo projects

Creating a project link

Log in to your application as an JIRA Administrator and navigate to the administration page for the project:
- JIRA project administration (Select the Application Links link in the "Settings" section of the project administration screen)
- Confluence wiki administration (Choose Space tools > Integrations on the sidebar and then click the Add Link button)
- FishEye repository administration (In the repository you want to link from, click the icon and choose Application Links)
- FishEye/Crucible project administration
- Bamboo-to-JIRA project links – configured via JIRA project administration (Select the Application Links link in the "Settings" section of the JIRA project administration screen)
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.
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:
- If the target application does not have Application Links:
