**JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows** is a workflow automation tool. It helps you streamline your teams' work using post functions and guarantee process and data integrity using conditions and validators. To utilize JSU, you should be familiar with creating and editing workflows and customizing Jira spaces to meet the needs of your teams.

If you haven't edited a workflow before, we have included a summary of Jira’s workflow fundamentals here. This will help you understand where JSU fits into your workflows and how our modules are combined to create versatile and powerful automation rules. If you want to go straight to adding rules to a space workflow, see [Edit a Jira Workflow](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/12519274).
