# Optional configuration in aqua

This step is optional but recommended. In order to show information about any Jira items that covered by test cases or test scenarios, the connection to Jira needs to be configured. In order to configure the integration, open the 'Integrations' page, and you'll land on the 'Global' tab. Here, you can set up a single integration that applies to all the projects you have in aqua.

Choose the integration, such as Jira, and then click the 'Configure' button.&#x20;

Enter all the necessary details and click 'Check connection.' If all your credentials are correct, you'll see the following message:

If your credentials are incorrect, you'll encounter the following message:

To finish the integration set up, don’t forget to click the ‘Save’ button.

\
You can also set up the integration on a project level, either from the main Integrations page or within the project settings.

Once you've created an integration on a project level, you'll find a tile under the project tab that displays the added integration and which project it's associated with.

It's important to note that project-level configuration takes precedence over the global configuration.

\
Additionally, moving forward, if your project is put on hold, or you need to make adjustments, there's no need to remove the integration entirely. You can simply disable it and re-enable it as needed. <br>

This means that users won't have the ability to preview or link issues or tickets to aqua projects while it’s disabled, but everything becomes available again as soon as the integration is re-enabled.

We also added the page with aqua apps that you can download and utilise for free.
