Adding an Entity Link

Adding an Entity Link

To add an entity link:

1. Log into your application as an administrator and navigate to the administration page for the entity:
   • JIRA project administration
   • Confluence wiki administration
   • FishEye repository administration
   • FishEye/Crucible project administration
   • Bamboo project
2. Choose the entity in your local application that you want to link from. For example, you may want to link a FishEye repository to another entity.
3. The instructions for adding an entity will vary depending on whether the target application has UAL:
   • If the target application for the entity has UAL:
     1. Click 'Add Link'. A dropdown menu will display listing all of the applications you have already linked to.
     2. In the dropdown menu, click the application that contains the entity that you want to link to. For example, if you want to link to a specific JIRA project, click the JIRA server that contains the JIRA project.
     3. Click either of the options on the 'Authorization required' screen:
        • 'Authorize' — Click this option if you want to allow authorised access to the target entity, by your entity. The target application will open in a new window, so that you can log in and authorise access.
        • 'Skip – your access is anonymous' — Click this option if you only want to allow anonymous access to the target entity, by your entity.
     4. In the 'Name or Key' field, enter the name/key for the entity in the remote application that you want to link to. For example, if you want to link to a JIRA project, enter the project key.
     5. Click the 'Create' button to create the entity link.
   • If the target application for the entity does not have UAL:
     1. Click 'Add Link'. A dropdown menu will display listing all of the applications you have already linked to.
     2. In the dropdown menu, click the application that contains the entity that you want to link to. For example, if you want to link to a specific JIRA project, click the JIRA server that contains the JIRA project.
     3. Enter the name/key for the entity in the remote application that you want to link to, in the 'Key' field. For example, if you want to link to a JIRA project, enter the project key.
     4. (optional) Enter the alias for the entity in the 'Alias' field. This is the display name for the entity in your administration console.
     5. Click the 'Create' button to create the entity link.
