# Jira

The **Jira** data source in Epsilla allows users to connect and retrieve issues directly from their Jira projects or specific issues. This type of data source is ideal for managing tickets, project progress, and collaboration data stored in **Jira**.

### Load Data from Jira

There are two options for specifying the data to load from **Jira**:

1. **Project Key**: Provide the key of the Jira project to load all issues from that project.
2. **Issue Keys**: Specify individual issue keys to load selected tickets. If issue keys are provided, the project key will be ignored.

### Data Processing

Once the connection details are entered, click **Create**:

Epsilla will automatically process the tickets. During this process, the platform loads, chunks, and embeds the documents into vectors for efficient retrieval. You can monitor the progress of data processing in real-time:

After the data is processed, the list of pages imported from **Jira** will be visible in the **Loaded Issues** section. Tickets that are ready for use will be marked as **Ready**, while those still processing will show a status of **Processing data**.
