The Salesforce Package features the Lightning Experience component, allowing you to use the Lightning App Builder to build customized page layouts. The components can show Jira information and operation buttons to create or associate, as well as Jira comments related to the associated Jira issues. 

This page explains how to configure Lightning Experience components for both standard and custom objects in Salesforce.
