Issue search

The issue search can be used to search for issues. The issue search can be opened from the sidebar.

Tooltip

Closed issues, that are no longer displayed in the additional tab "Issues", can still be found using the issue search.

To search for issues, a search term can be entered in the search field.

Search field

The issue search is implemented as a full-text search and searches the following issue properties:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Ticket number
Note

The searched text is divided by separators (e.g. spaces, hyphens, and slashes). Only matches from the beginning of a word (i.e. after a separator) are found. Text within a word is not found.

The search results are displayed directly in the preview.

Search preview

By clicking on the preview a found issue can be opened. By clicking on "Search" all issues found are displayed and can be browsed.

Search results

Tooltip

If no search term was entered in the search field, the following filters are applied without a full-text search (i.e. to all issues).

Filters

The search results can be filtered according to further criteria:

FilterDescription
Issue typeOnly display issues with specific issue types.
StatusOnly display issues with specific statuses.
CategoryOnly display issues with specific categories.
My roleOnly display issues where the user is assigned in a specific role.
Tooltip

The customer-specific categories can be configured in the annotations.

The selected filters are displayed as tiles below the dropdown lists:

The advanced issue search can be turned on and off by clicking on the following button:

Advanced search

The advanced issue search allows multiple search conditions to be defined. For example, to display all issues for which

  • Title contains the value Customer,
  • and Status is either Rejected or Done:

Tooltip

In contrast to the normal issue search, in which only a few selected filters are available, arbitrary search conditions can be defined in the advanced issue search. When the advanced issue search is activated, the previously selected filters are automatically applied as search conditions in the advanced issue search.

  • Clicking on "+" adds a new search condition.
  • Clicking on "-" deletes a search condition.
  • Clicking on "Reset" deletes all search conditions.
  • Clicking on "Search" displays the found issues.

Advanced search

Note

The search result only contains issues that satisfy all search conditions, i.e. the search conditions are logically conjuncted with AND.

Each search condition evaluates a property of an issue. The property can be selected in the first dropdown list. A customer-specific property can be specified by selecting "More properties..." in the first dropdown list and the customer-specific property in the second dropdown list.

Advanced search properties

The search operator and the value (or pattern), with which the property is to be evaluated, must be specified. Depending on the property, different search operators are available:

Search operatorDescription
isEvaluates if the property is equal to the value.
is notEvaluates if the property is not equal to the value.
containsEvaluates if the property contains the value.
starts withEvaluates if the property starts with the value.
ends withEvaluates if the property ends with the value.
likeEvaluates if the property matches the pattern.
greater thanEvaluates if the property is greater than the value.
less thanEvaluates if the property is less than the value.
Note

The search operator "like" uses a pattern to evaluate the property. A % in the pattern matches any number of characters. A _ in the pattern matches exactly one character.

The values of properties, that are based on a list of valid values (e.g. literals), are displayed in a dropdown list. In this case, several values can typically be selected:
