JIRA integration on the NCI Wiki

Integration with JIRA provides three advantages:

• You can log in on either http://wiki.nci.nih.gov or http://tracker.nci.nih.gov and you will be logged in on both sites.
• If you have editing permissions on the wiki, you can use a shortcut to display any one JIRA issue. Refer to Using the JIRA shortcut.
• If you have editing permissions you can also use the jiraissues macro. Refer to Using the jiraissues macro.

Confluence 3.5 provided improved JIRA integration, demonstrated in a video provided by Atlassian.

The capability of creating a JIRA issue from within Confluence does not apply to the NCI instance, because NCI JIRA trackers have mandatory field requirements that have been customized.
