h1. 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|http://www.atlassian.com/en/software/confluence/whats-new-iframe/35#3.-better-jira-integration].

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.
