Administering Entity Links for an Application Link

If you have linked two applications, you can also link entities of the two applications. An entity is one of the following:

• JIRA project
• Confluence space
• FishEye repository
• FishEye project (this is the Crucible project if it is a FishEye/Crucible instance, otherwise it is the paths associated via the 'FishEye Project Content' function in FishEye)
• Crucible project
• Bamboo project

For example, you could associate a JIRA project with a Confluence space. This allows you to take advantage of additional integration features like link rendering, which lets you create links to issues or pages in the project or space using a simple textual reference, e.g. [JRA-1234], [myConfluenceSpace:Test Page]. Other integration features which use entity links include:

• activity streams (e.g. what activity to retrieve from JIRA to display in the activity stream of a FishEye Repository or Crucible Project)
• JIRA-FishEye plugin (e.g. what repositories to search for a particular issue key when rendering the FishEye tab in JIRA, or what Crucible projects to query for review activity when displaying the Crucible tab in a JIRA project)
• and more.
