# Jama

### Connect Jama in Violet

{% hint style="info" %}
The below instructions are for connecting cloud-based Jama. If your instance is self-hosted, skip this section and head [here](/apps/j/jama/connect-self-hosted-jama.md).
{% endhint %}

1. In [Violet](https://app.violetlabs.com/) (or [VioletGov](https://app.violetgov.com/)), navigate to **Integrations** and click  <img src="/files/IS4aq5Ad1Nr6RFUu4LLg" alt="" data-size="line"> to add a new integration.&#x20;
2. Select <img src="/files/2Pl7rrVC0cyuDpoDIxXa" alt="" data-size="line"> **Jama**

\[Optional] You can also provide a unique name for the connection based on the credentials you're using, and you can create **restricted permissions** to users or groups:

4. For Basic Authentication, enter your Jama Username and Password and click **Connect.** \

5. Once connected, configure your integration (optional), then click **Create.** You're done!
   1. Select one or more Jama Projects to include in the integration scope. We recommend limiting one Jama Project to one Integration, so that imported projects will be rendered as Violet Programs, and contained requirements can be viewed in Violet Requirements Module (enabling commenting, peer reviews, shared program access, etc.)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/j/jama.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
