This page tells you how to add applications to your Confluence site, so that Application Links will work between Confluence and the added applications.

Before following the instructions below, please make sure that you have installed the Application Links plugin as described in the Installation Guide.

  1. Make sure that the application you want to add is running. For example, if you want to add Application Links between Confluence and JIRA, then both Confluence and JIRA must be up.
  2. Log in to Confluence as a system administrator.
  3. Go to the Administration Console.
  4. Click the 'Application Links' link. The 'External Application Links' screen will appear, as shown below:


  5. Click 'Add Instance'.
  6. The 'Edit Instance Details' screen will appear, as shown below:


  7. Enter the following information:
    Field Description
    Application This is the application you are adding.
    Instance name This is the name of the application instance. We recommend that the instance name is kept unique across all instances to ensure that synchronisation will work. There is a current limitation for synchronisation that the instance be called 'confluence'. See APL-2.
    URL This is the address of the application instance.
    Login, Password These are the login details for the application instance. They are not required for Subversion.
  8. Click the 'Save' button.
  9. The application instance has now been added into Application Links. The new application instance will now show on the 'External Application Links' screen:
