# How do I map relation names to Ketryx relation types when fetching data from Jira?

In your organization, head to the advanced settings and find the ‘Relation names’ configuration. ( **Organization -> Advanced -> Relation names**).

Here you can map multiple Jira relation names to the Ketryx relation types, by following the follow json format:

```
{
   "<Ketryx Relation Type>":
   [\
      "<Jira relation name 1>",\
      "<Jira relation name 2>"\
   ]
}

Example:
Use the name "is child of parent" instead of the default relation name "has parent"

{
   "HAS_PARENT":
   [\
      "is child of parent"\
   ]
}
```

```

```
