### Closing Jira Issues
-Jira issues can be closed directly from GitLab by using trigger words, eg. `Resolves PROJECT-1`, `Closes PROJECT-1` or `Fixes PROJECT-1`, in commits and merge requests.

## Configuration
### Configuring JIRA
-We need to create a user in JIRA which will have access to all projects that need to integrate with GitLab.
-Login to your JIRA instance as admin and under Administration go to User Management and create a new user.
-As an example, we'll create a user named `gitlab` and add it to `jira-developers` group.

**It is important that the user `gitlab` has write-access to projects in JIRA**
### Configuring GitLab
-### GitLab 7.8 EE and up with JIRA v6.x
+JIRA configuration in GitLab is done via a project's **Services**.
-To enable JIRA integration in a project, navigate to the project Settings page and go to Services. Here you will find JIRA.
+#### GitLab 7.8 and up with JIRA v6.x
-Fill in the required details on the page:
+To enable JIRA integration in a project, navigate to the project's
+**Settings > Services > JIRA**.
-![Jira service page](jira_service_page.png)
+Fill in the required details on the page as described in the table below.
-* `description` A name for the issue tracker (to differentiate between instances, for instance).
-* `project url` The URL to the JIRA project which is being linked to this GitLab project.
-* `issues url` The URL to the JIRA project issues overview for the project that is linked to this GitLab project.
-* `new issue url` This is the URL to create a new issue in JIRA for the project linked to this GitLab project.
-* `api url` The base URL of the JIRA API. It may be omitted, in which case GitLab will automatically use API version `2` based on the `project url`, i.e. `https://jira.example.com/rest/api/2`.
-* `username` The username of the user created in [configuring JIRA step](#configuring-jira).
-* `password` The password of the user created in [configuring JIRA step](#configuring-jira).
-* `Jira issue transition` This is the id of a transition that moves issues to a closed state. You can find this number under [JIRA workflow administration, see screenshot](jira_workflow_screenshot.png). By default, this id is `2`. (In the example image, this is `2` as well)
